Description
Rose Cottage is a small house dating to the late 18th century. It is situated within a group of four thatched buildings in the small village of Berepper, two of which are also listed. The house is constructed of painted rubble and rendered cob walls, with a thatched roof, slate sills, wooden lintels, and brick chimneys over the gable ends. It retains a 2-room plan: a kitchen/living room to the left, featuring a large hearth and stair against the rear wall, and a parlour to the right, connected by a cross passage. A further house originally adjoined the right-hand gable end.
The symmetrical south-east front has three windows, with a blind window above the central doorway. The front features a 4-panel door and mostly early 20th-century 6-pane horned sash windows, although one original casement window survives at the rear of the house.
The interior has been little altered. Features include stick balusters to the stair, ovolo-moulded beams, obscured pine muntin and plank partitions, ledged doors, and a cupboard with a 2-panel door.
