Description
Rose Cottages is a pair of cottages dating from the late 17th century. They feature plastered cob walls and a hipped thatched roof, with a central rendered rubble axial stack. The cottages are designed as mirror images of each other, each with a two-room layout where the main room is heated by the central stack, and a very small outer service room. The entrance leads into the larger room of each cottage.
The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical front, displaying two windows for each cottage and a large space between them. The windows are 19th-century three-light casements, while the outer ground floor windows are two-light. Each cottage has a 20th-century part-glazed door located between the ground floor windows.
Inside the right-hand cottage (No. 2), there are chamfered cross beams and an open fireplace featuring an obscured wooden lintel and an oven. Rose Cottages is noted as an interesting and unaltered example of an early pair of cottages.
