Rose Farmhouse

Rose Farmhouse is a former farmhouse, likely dating back to 1638, with significant alterations made in the 19th century, evidenced by the 'R.B. 1843' date on the road-facing gable. The construction is primarily of coursed squared and dressed limestone, with a small area of timber framing and some rebuilding using painted brick. The roof is covered in artificial stone slates, and there is a brick stack. The building follows an 'L' shape with a later extension.

The rear elevation features twin gables. On the left side, there’s a four-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casement with a king mullion in the lower section and a single-light casement to the right with a double-chamfered surround. The left-hand gable contains a three-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casement with a stopped hood, while the right-hand gable has a two-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casement with a stopped hood, and a single-light window cut from a single stone, illuminating the attic.

The east-facing elevation offers a 17th-century two-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casement alongside a single-light casement with a flat-chamfered surround. There’s also an early eaves dormer with leaded panes. An early studded plank door is situated on the left side. The gable facing the lane presents two two-light ovolo-moulded stone-mullioned casements with stopped hoods, along with datestones and a sun insurance plaque at the gable apex. A two-light stone-mullioned casement is present on the right-hand return.

A projecting lateral stack is located to the rear of the main body, flanked by a two-light stone-mullioned casement and a 20th-century two-light steel casement within the blocked remains of a former doorway. The extension to the right includes a single-light casement with a flat-chamfered surround and a 20th-century glass door with glazing bars. The opposite side features 20th-century steel casements and a large, 20th-century five-light weather-boarded roof dormer. Lateral stacks are present on the main body, with some having their shafts removed. The interior of the farmhouse has not been inspected.
