Description
Rosemary Cottage is an estate cottage built around 1860 in Compton Bassett village. It is constructed from renewed chalk rubble with brick dressings and stone mullion windows. The roof is covered in stone slate, with stacks on the ridge and east end, and coped gables. The cottage is one and a half storeys high, with a projecting cross wing to the left. The cross wing has brick angles, a gable finial, a two-light window with a hoodmould above, and a three-light mullion-and-transom window below. To the right is a single window range with a three-light window below and a two-light window above, set within a brick-sided dormer gable. Both windows have hoodmoulds. A porch with brick angles, a coped gable, a finial, and a Tudor-arched ashlar doorway with a hoodmould and a "G.H." plaque (for George Heneage) is located on the west side of the cross wing, along with a dormer gable to the left. The cottage is included on the list as a good example of the many similar estate cottages that characterise the village.
