Description
Lower Winson and Rosemary Cottage are two adjoining cottages, probably from the 18th century. Lower Winson features rendered stone rubble and cob, while Rosemary Cottage has unrendered stone rubble. Both cottages have thatched roofs with gable ends. Rosemary Cottage has a brick stack at the left end, and there is a large 19th-century axial brick stack and a stone rubble stack heightened in brick at the right gable end. The overall plan is L-shaped. Lower Winson, on the right, has two rooms with direct entry into the right-hand room. Rosemary Cottage, on the left, has direct entry into the front principal room, with a smaller room in the rear wing.
Both cottages are two storeys high. Lower Winson has two 2-light casements with two panes per light above a similar window to the left and a 3-light casement to the right of a wide rendered porch with a thatched roof. Rosemary Cottage retains late 18th-century to early 19th-century fenestration throughout, featuring 2-and-3-light casements with diamond leaded panes, and a single window on each floor to the left of a 20th-century gabled porch. Inside Lower Winson, there is a chamfered cross ceiling beam and fireplace lintel, with 19th-century joinery mostly intact. The interior of Rosemary Cottage has been largely altered in the 20th century.
