Description
Rose Cottage is a house from the early 18th century, with alterations dated and inscribed above the entrance as J&A J 1741. It features painted roughcast walls resting on projecting plinth stones, topped with a graduated greenslate roof and painted roughcast chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and has three bays. The centre of the façade has a 20th-century door set in a painted stone surround with a dated lintel. The windows are sash style, framed in 19th-century painted stone surrounds. Inside, the cottage has beamed ceilings, and the inglenook fireplace includes a large firebeam without a heck. At the rear, there are slate steps illuminated by a two-light flat stone-mullioned window, and a bread oven is built into the kitchen wall.
