Description
Rose Cottage is a cottage dating from the late 17th century. It features plastered cob walls and a hipped thatch roof, with a brick chimney on a stone base at the left-hand end. The building has a two-room plan, with the left-hand room heated by an end stack. The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with one window, which includes 20th-century two and three-light casements. There is a 20th-century plank door at the centre, located behind an open trellis-work porch. At the left-hand end, there is a one-storey outbuilding that likely dates from the 18th or 19th century. The interior was inaccessible at the time of the survey.
