Description
Rose Cottage is a detached house built in the mid to late 18th century, with an early 19th-century addition. The structure features coursed and random rubble limestone, with ashlar and red brick chimneys, and a stone slate roof, while the rear has a concrete tile roof. It is three stories high, with a parallel three-story rear range.
The west front has two windows, with 6-light timber mullioned casements that include a central horizontal glazing bar and pointed-headed lights on the ground and middle floors. The upper floor has similar 4-light windows, all with timber lintels. There were formerly doorways grouped at the center; one is blocked, and the other has a 20th-century door with a timber lintel. To the left, there is another doorway with a flat-roofed timber latticework porch. The house has three ridge-mounted chimneys with plain caps.
On the north end, there are pointed arched lights to the casement windows on the front range, and a single-window segmental arched casement at the end of the rear range. The rear features leaded timber casements in the unobscured part of the front range, while the other windows are all segmental arched casements. A single-storey addition at the south end is not of special interest. The interior has not been inspected.
The low coped garden wall has central pairs of gate piers and similar terminal piers, all with weathered copings. It is complemented by hoop-topped iron railings and a matching gate. Rose Cottage is referenced in D. Craik's novel "John Halifax, Gentleman," published in 1857, where Amberley is disguised as Enderley.
