Rose Cottage The Cottage

Rose Cottage and The Cottage are a pair of estate cottages dating from around 1850, likely designed by J. Thomson for J. Neeld of Grittleton. They are constructed of rubble stone with an imitation stone slate half-hipped roof, topped with a central ridge stack. The cottages have two storeys and a two-window front. The ground floor features triple casement windows, while the upper floor features triangular oriels set within eaves dormer gables. Details are in pennant stone and include ground floor sills, hoodmolds, a string course, brackets, and slab bases to the upper oriels. The oriels have casements on each side and imitation stone slate roofs extending into the dormer gables. The end walls have half-hipped, lean-to enclosed porches and square oriels above. A parallel rear range features end-wall oriels on pennant stone brackets. These cottages are included on the list for their contribution to the wider group value of buildings in the area.
