Description

Rose Bower is a pair of semi-detached cottages, likely built in the 18th century and altered in the mid-19th century. The cottages are roughcast over rubble with a half-hipped thatched roof. There is an inserted stack rising from the eaves on the right, and a central brick stack that has been rebuilt on the remains of an earlier stack. Additionally, there are two diagonally set brick stacks on the left gable end, resting on an earlier external stack.

The plan consists of two cells and a cross passage, with an outshot at the rear. The cottages are one and a half storeys high and have four bays. The first floor features two-light leaded iron casements, while the ground floor has ogee-headed lights, with two-light windows in the outer bays and a three-light window in the inner bay. There is a small buttress flanking the windows, and a gabled scallop-tiled porch between the windows with semicircular-headed openings. The right return has a stack rising from a triple Roman tiled pentice above a three-light ogee-headed oriel, along with a first-floor oriel in the outshut at the back.
