Description
Thyme Square and Rose Cottage are two adjoining cottages, likely built in the late 18th century or early 19th century. They are constructed from painted roughcast rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with a thatched roof featuring gable end brick stacks for the cob chimneys. The cottages have a mirrored layout, each consisting of a single room on either side of an entrance passage, with staircases leading to the rear inner rooms.
The buildings are two storeys high and feature a four-window range. All the windows are early 20th-century two-light casements with three panes per light. Thyme Square, on the left, has an early 20th-century porch with a thatched half-hipped roof, shaped bargeboards, an ogee-style lintel, and a four-panelled inner door with the upper two panels glazed. Rose Cottage has a 20th-century porch with a gabled corrugated iron roof and a similar door. Inside, the 19th-century joinery remains largely intact.
