Description
Rectory Cottage, also known as Rose Cottage on the Ordnance Survey, is a small cottage that likely dates from the mid to late 17th century and was modernized around 1980. It is constructed of local stone and flint rubble, featuring a stone rubble stack and chimney shaft, with a thatched roof. The cottage has a two-room plan and faces east-north-east. The larger room on the left (north) side has a gable-end stack and a newel stair alongside it. The building is two stories tall and has a 20th-century outshot on the north end.
The exterior showcases an irregular two-window front with 20th-century casements that include glazing bars. The front doorway is located towards the left end and features a part-glazed 20th-century door behind a contemporary porch. The roof is gable-ended on the left and hipped on the right.
Inside, much of the interior reflects the 20th-century modernization, although the basic structure appears to be from the 17th century. The larger left room has a deeply chamfered crossbeam, and the fireplace is made of plastered rubble with a chamfered and step-stopped crossbeam. The roof was not accessible for inspection during the survey.
