Description
Rose Cottage, formerly known as Vicarage Cottage, is a house dating from the 17th century, with extensions made around 1972 and some alterations. The building features a timber frame with colourwashed infill, while the modern wing is colourwashed and rendered. It has half-hipped thatched roofs and is arranged in an L shape, with the original 17th-century section facing the road and consisting of two bays, while the modern wing adds one bay. The house is one and a half storeys tall, and the gable end elevations were rebuilt around 1972. There is a door leading into the modern wing, and the windows are mostly casements with two lights, along with a three-light eaves dormer in the modern wing. The 17th-century section includes stacks on either side of the central truss, and inside, there are chamfered and stopped spine beams as well as an inglenook fireplace.
