Description

Rose Cottage is a cottage, possibly dating back to the 18th century and enlarged in the 19th century, with 20th-century extensions. It is constructed with roughcast over rubble, featuring nipped thatched roofs, with a very steep pitch to the rear range. A large stone stack is located below the roof, potentially marking the gable end of the original block. The cottage is laid out in an L-shape, built into a hillside with a single-cell front facing east. There is an extension to the north side, a two-storey range at the rear, and an extension to the west front. The main entrance is in the south-west corner. The cottage has two storeys and a 1:1 bay arrangement. A right-side eyebrow dormer is present, featuring a two-light leaded oriel window. The left side of the first floor is unlit. On the ground floor, there is a plank door to the right and a hooded porch set into the angle. A small, early 19th-century, leaded three-light window is located at the rear. The ground floor to the left is partially obscured by a Roman tiled extension from the 20th century, along with further 20th-century windows to the right. It is a picturesque thatched cottage situated on a hillside overlooking Dulverton.
