Description
Rose Cottage is a house from the mid-19th century, featuring plastered walls made of either brick or stone rubble, with brick stacks and chimney shafts, and a slate roof. The house faces south-south-west towards the Church of St John. It has a double depth plan with front and back rooms on either side of a central entrance hall and main staircase. There is a gable-end stack and a rear lateral stack serving the left rear room. A short service block extends at right angles to the rear of the left end, which includes a carriageway leading from the road to the back of the house. The building has two storeys and a symmetrical three-window front centered around a doorway that features a 19th-century part-glazed panelled door beneath a plain timber flat-roofed porch supported by chamfered posts. Above the door is a round-headed fixed pane window with a radial pattern of glazing bars. The windows on either side are 19th-century 16-pane sashes. The roof is gable-ended. The interior has not been inspected, but original joinery details are suspected to be present.
