Rose Cottage Including Stables and Coach-House Adjoining to South

Rose Cottage, including stables and a coach-house adjoining to the south, is a cottage that was formerly a lodge to Eggesford House, built around 1860-70. The structure features exposed mustone rubble with Hathersleigh stone ashlar quoins and detailing, stone rubble stacks and chimney shafts topped with original cream-coloured chimney pots, and coated slate roofs with crested ridge tiles. The cottage faces north, away from the road, and has a main front range designed with a 2-room and central staircase plan, end stacks, and a 2-storey porch.

At the rear of the left (east) room, there is a service block under a parallel roof with a rear stack. The stables and coach-house, which adjoin to the rear, also have a parallel roof and face the road to the south. The building is two storeys tall and is designed in the Victorian Gothic style, featuring a symmetrical window arrangement of 1:1:1. The porch projects slightly and has a gabled roof. The outer 2-centred arch of the porch has a chamfered surround and shelters an original 4-panel door. Above, there is a lancet window on the first floor.

On either side of the porch, there are ground floor 2-light windows with pointed arches. The right gable end has a similar 3-light window on the ground floor and a 2-light window on the first floor. The left gable end features a 2-window front of lancets, with the ground floor windows blocked. The service block has similar but not identical windows, all of which have glazing bars. The interior has not been inspected. The coach-house and stables are constructed of snecked sandstone and have a gable-ended design. The coach-house door on the right has a flat head with rounded corners, while the stable door on the left has a low segmental head with a central keystone and is flanked by narrow fixed pane windows containing diamond-shaped panes of leaded glass.
