Description

Rose Cottage is a house with an adjoining cottage, likely built in the 18th century. The exterior features painted rubble and some cob on the upper part of the front wall of the cottage, with a wheat reed thatched roof that sweeps lower behind the house. There is a rubble axial stack with a brick shaft over the party wall and a brick chimney at the right-hand gable end.

The original house, located on the right, consists of two rooms at the front flanking a central entrance, with probably two shallow service rooms in an integral outhshut at the rear. The slightly later cottage on the left likely has one full-depth room and an entrance on its left side, along with a 20th-century lean-to at the far left.

The building is two storeys high with a three-window south front. The original house has a slightly irregular two-window front with a central doorway featuring a 20th-century door. The ground floor has late 19th-century or 20th-century four-pane horned sashes, while the first floor has 20th-century 12-pane two-light casements. The cottage on the left has similar windows and an old ledged door on the far left. The interior has not been inspected.
