Description
Rose Cottage, The Old Northcote Arms, and the adjoining cottage to the west form a row of three cottages dating from around the late 17th or early 18th century. They have rendered cob walls and thatched roofs, with the roof being hipped to the left and gabled at the right end. There are two axial brick chimneys and one at the right gable end.
The cottages to the right are arranged with a two-room plan, with each room heated by an end stack. The cottage to the left has a one-room plan and is heated by an axial stack.
The front of the cottages is asymmetrical, with a seven-window arrangement: three windows to each of the two right-hand cottages (The Old Northcote Arms in the centre and Rose Cottage to the right), and one window to the left-hand cottage. Most windows are 20th-century two- and three-light casements, some with small panes. A small-paned three-light 19th-century casement is on the ground floor of the left-hand cottage. This cottage also has a 19th-century plank door to the left. The other two cottages each have a 19th-century plank door in the centre.
Behind the end of Rose Cottage is a small thatched outbuilding. The interiors were not accessible at the time of the survey.
