Description
Rose Cottage is a detached cottage, with a reputed building date of 1631, although much of the fabric and detail dates from later periods. It has dressed stone walls and a Roman tile roof, with brick stacks set into both gables. The main range runs parallel to and is set back from the street, featuring a continuous outshut to the rear with rubble stone walls and a late 20th-century construction. The cottage is two storeys high with four windows, all replacements featuring 3-light wooden casements with wooden cills, along with two smaller 2-light casements. A plank front door, featuring studded muntins, is located to the left of centre, sheltered by a weatherboarded porch with a pentice roof and stone base.
