Description
Rosebank is a farmhouse that has been converted into three cottages and is now a single house. It likely has a core dating back to the 16th century, with the cottages themselves probably built in the late 18th to early 19th century. The building was united and modernised in the mid-20th century. It features plastered cob on rubble footings, with rubble stacks and rendered brick chimney shafts, topped by a wheat reed thatched roof.
Originally, there were three one-room cottages facing southeast, with a rear lateral stack in the right (northeast) room and a central lateral stack that has an oven housing projecting to the front. The house is two storeys high and has an irregular six-window front, mostly consisting of late 19th and 20th-century casements of various sizes, most of which have glazing bars. The left end first-floor two-light casement has eight rectangular panes of leaded glass per light and may date to the early 19th century. The roof is half-hipped at each end.
Inside, the layout has been modernised but shows plain carpentry from the late 18th to early 19th century, suggesting the possible presence of a 16th-century core with a three-room-and-through-passage plan. The roof has not been inspected.
