Description
Rose Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century. It is timber framed with colourwashed plastered infill and features a brick plinth. The roof is half hipped and thatched. The building has three bays and two storeys, with the entrance located in the left gable elevation. The north front includes a single-storey lean-to roofed with slate, which has a two-light casement window on the left. The centre bay features a three-light casement window on the ground floor, while the right bay has an off-centre two-light casement. The right-hand bays have two-light leaded casement windows on the first floor. There is a stack made of 17th-century thin bricks situated between the right-hand bays, with the original entrance located behind it, and a stack on the left-hand gable. Inside, the cottage contains inglenook fireplaces and stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops.
