Rose Cottage

Rose Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the early 18th century and was extended at the rear in the 19th century. It is built of painted rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with a hipped thatch roof featuring a stone rubble stack with a tapered cap on the left end. There is a single-storey rear kitchen wing that is slated.

The cottage has a two-room plan with a central passage that contains the staircase, while the room on the right is unheated. A short rear scullery or pantry wing was probably added in the early 19th century to the rear right side, and a single-storey kitchen wing from the late 19th century is located on the rear left side, with an outshut between the two wings. The building is two storeys high and features a two-window range with 2-light casements, each having four panes per light, above a late 19th-century verandah. This verandah has a hipped slate roof supported by two chamfered timber posts and includes canted bay windows on each side, with the left bay featuring a large six-paned sash and the right bay having been replaced in the 20th century. The central entrance has a four-panelled door, with the upper two panels being glazed.

Inside, the 19th-century joinery and staircase are intact, and a 20th-century fireplace conceals an earlier hearth in the left-hand room. The feet of straight principals are visible, suggesting an 18th-century roof structure, although the roof space has not been inspected. Notably, the village pound was located immediately to the right of this cottage, which includes a small pantiled lean-to shelter on the end wall that housed the village stocks.
