Description

Rose Cottage is a house dating from around the late 18th century, with alterations and an extension added around the mid-20th century. The ground floor is built of flint, stone, and brick, while the first floor is of cob construction. The roof is thatched with half-hipped and gabled ends, including eyebrow eaves at the front.

The house was originally planned with two rooms, a central entrance, a heated room to the north-west, and an unheated room to the left. A 20th-century wing was added behind the left-hand room.

The front of the house, facing north-east, is almost symmetrical with two windows. It features 20th-century three-light metal-framed casement windows in enlarged openings, with tile sills. A central doorway has a plank door. A 20th-century, rendered gable-ended wing is located at the rear (south-west) on the right side.

Inside, the left-hand ground floor room has a thin, chamfered axial beam without stops. The right-hand ground floor room has a roughly framed ceiling and a 20th-century tiled fireplace. The interior joinery includes plank doors, and there is a late 19th-century cast-iron chimneypiece in the attic chamber. The attics are ceiled, but the structural roof principals are still visible.
