Rose Cottage

Rose Cottage is a late 17th-century cottage constructed from whitewashed plastered cob and stone rubble, topped with a thatched roof that is gabled at both ends, featuring a projecting stack on the right end. The building has a single-depth, two-room plan, with a principal heated room on the right side and a narrow unheated room on the left. The entrance is located at the front, leading into the unheated room, which has been divided in the 20th century into a bathroom and an entrance lobby. There is also a single-storey, 20th-century slate-roofed lean-to at the right end.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical two-window front. The thatch eaves are eyebrowed over the first-floor windows, and there is a gabled 20th-century porch on the front at the left. The windows are small-pane timber casements from the 19th and 20th centuries. The rear elevation is mostly blind, except for a small 20th-century window that lights the bathroom.

Inside, the heated room features a chamfered scroll-stopped crossbeam, and there is a 20th-century fireplace that likely conceals an earlier lintel and jambs. The roof was not inspected during the survey in 1986.

Rose Cottage is an attractive small cottage from the 17th century and forms a group with the adjacent West Park Cottage, which is positioned approximately parallel to it at the rear, with the two houses being extremely close together.
