Rose Cottage

Rose Cottage is a house, likely originally late 17th century, and possibly converted into two cottages in the 19th century before being restored as a single dwelling. It is constructed of painted rubble stone with a corrugated asbestos roof and prominent stone chimneystacks, each with a tapered top and weatherings in the gable ends. The original layout is uncertain, but it probably began as two ground-floor rooms. In the 19th century, two smaller rooms were inserted at the rear, one for each cottage. The house is two storeys high with a single-storey lean-to addition on the right-hand side. The front facade has a two-window arrangement, with windows spaced widely at each end. A doorway on the left-hand side retains a plank door and a pent-roofed hood covered with corrugated iron, supported by long, shaped brackets. The right-hand doorway has been converted into a 20th-century wooden casement window. The other windows are 19th-century, with two panes in each light of the wooden casements. Internally, the front section of the ground floor is now a single large room with a fireplace at each end; the right-hand fireplace has a plain wooden lintel.
