Rose Cottage and Clematis Cottage

Rose Cottage and Clematis Cottage are two cottages, probably from the 18th century. They are built of plastered cob on rubble footings, with a rubble stack topped by 19th-century brick and a thatched roof. The cottages have a two-room layout, with Rose Cottage on the left featuring two rooms and Clematis Cottage on the right having one room. They share a central axial stack in the party wall.

The buildings are two storeys high and have a four-window front, featuring 19th and 20th-century wooden casements with glazing bars. The three first-floor windows rise above the eaves as half dormers. There is a central door to Rose Cottage, which has a 20th-century hood, and a door at the right end for Clematis Cottage, which is sheltered by a late 19th to early 20th-century wooden gabled porch with a shingle roof. The roof is gabled on the left side and half-hipped on the right.

Inside, the cottages have plain carpentry details, including plain chamfered cross beams, rubble fireplaces with oak lintels and brick side-ovens, and A-frame roof trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars. This is the last surviving thatch-roofed building in Yeoford.
