Description
Rose Cottage is a detached cottage that may date back to the 17th century, although it features 19th-century windows. The building is constructed from large squared and dressed limestone blocks, with stone slates on the south slope and concrete tiles on the north slope, which includes an outshut. It has a stone gable stack with capping at the road end. The cottage has a simple gable facing the road, which is near the old road that has since been bypassed by the later B4070.
The structure is two and a half storeys tall and has two windows, featuring 2-light reserve chamfered mullioned casements, one of which has a stopped drip on the ground floor to the left. There is a central 19th-century plank door set within a 20th-century gabled porch. In the gable facing the road, at a high level, there is a small fixed glass opening surrounded by a chamfered surround with a stopped drip. To the low left, there is a wood lintel over a flush blocked former opening, which likely served as an entry beside the fireplace in the original layout. While modest, Rose Cottage is considered one of the better preserved examples of vernacular architecture.
