Description

Rosemary Cottage is a small house dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. The walls are of rendered cob, and the roof is thatched with a gable end. There is a rendered stack at the right gable and a rendered rubble stack at the rear, axial to an adjoining property. The house has a two-room plan, with a rear wing on the left-hand side that is now partly within the adjoining property. The right-hand room was originally heated by a gable end fireplace.

The exterior has an asymmetrical two-window front. It features 20th-century two-light casement windows, with a single-light window on the ground floor to the left, and dormers to the first-floor windows. A central gabled 20th-century porch has a panelled and glazed door. The left-hand end of the house is recessed and gabled.

Inside, the right-hand and central rooms (originally one) have deep, richly moulded cross beams. The fireplace in the right-hand room has dressed granite stone jambs and a wooden lintel, although the lintel is partly obscured. The roof was inaccessible during the survey, but the feet of substantial trusses with threaded purlins are visible in the first-floor rooms, suggesting an early date.
