Rose Cottage And Out Building Adjoining At North

Rose Cottage is a 17th-century cottage with a 20th-century addition to the rear and a lean-to on the right front. It is constructed of plastered cob with a rag slate roof, and has a brick chimney on a stone base. An outbuilding, originally separate, adjoins the north end and is now incorporated into the cottage’s accommodation; its right gable end is clad in corrugated iron. The cottage originally comprised a single cell, with a single-storey addition to the rear and an entrance through the lean-to, which has an asbestos roof. The front facade is two storeys with a two-window arrangement. The ground floor window is a three-light casement with glazing bars; the first floor window to the right is similar, and the first floor window to the left is a two-light casement with glazing bars. The ground floor room features a slate floor, sawn ceiling beams, and a large fireplace with a clay oven, granite jambs, and a fireplace beam with ovolo moulding and scroll stops. The roof structure features trenched purlins and pegged collars, with one collar largely unhewn, apparently retaining both trunk and branch fixed to the principal rafters. The lower end of the cottage retains a continuous timber lintel at the first floor level. There are three ground floor openings, one unglazed, and a larger unglazed opening to the first floor.
