Course Cottages Including Wall To The East

Course Cottages, which includes a wall to the east, is a row of three cottages, originally four, likely converted from farm buildings in the 19th century. The cottages are built of colourwashed rendered cob and stone rubble, topped with red tiled roofs that were formerly thatched, with the right end now slated. There are two axial stacks. The layout consists of single-depth cottages, with some featuring rear outshuts. The central two cottages have been combined into one, while the right-hand cottage has been extended into what was once a stable. Locally, it is believed that these cottages were part of a range of farm buildings associated with a farmhouse that stood to the north and was demolished in the early 20th century. An early 20th-century photograph owned by the residents of No. 1 shows the farmhouse and cottages, which were thatched at the time, along with a projection for a village shop in the center.

The exterior of the cottages is two storeys high, with an asymmetrical window arrangement of 1:3:3. The left cottage, No. 1, features a door on the left leading into a narrow service room, with one first-floor and one ground-floor three-light late 19th-century small-pane casement window. No. 2, which was formerly two cottages, has a three-window front with a 20th-century replacement on the ground floor. No. 3 has a front door left of center and a second door to the left leading into the former stable, with three-light small-pane casements.

Internally, No. 1 has not been fully inspected but appears to have a plain interior. No. 2 has been modernized, with the crosswall that once divided the two cottages removed; however, an open fireplace with a bread oven remains at the right end. No. 3 was not inspected during the survey but is reported to be largely unaltered inside. Historically, two of the cottages were used to house employees, including the coachman and gardener, of the owner of Rose Ash Court, now known as Rose Ash House.
