Description

Rose Tree Cottage is a cottage dating from the 16th century, with enlargements made in the 18th to 19th centuries, and further modifications in the 20th century. The building is rendered over rubble and features a thatched roof, with a double Roman tiled half-hipped single storey addition on the left and a pantiled single storey addition beyond that. There is a brick stack at the original right gable end and a large lateral stack at the rear. The cottage appears to have been enlarged from a two-cell layout with an additional two-cell section.

It is one and a half storeys high, with a 2-light dormer that rises from the eaves. On the right side, there is an early 19th century 3-light leaded iron casement window set below the eaves, and a ground floor 20th century window in the addition to the left of the entrance. To the right, there is a small many-paned opening, and beyond that, there are 3 and 2-light early 19th century leaded iron casements. The entrance features a plank door with an irregular recess beside the right jamb. The interior has not been seen. The cottage was formerly known as Crawter Cottage.
