Description
Rose Cottage is a cottage that dates back to the 17th century, with possible earlier origins, and was extended in the early 19th century. It features a timber-framed structure that has been extended with rendered brick, topped by a plain-tile roof with brick ridge and lateral stacks. Originally likely a two-unit plan, it has been modified to a four-unit plan with a through passage. The cottage is one storey high with an attic and has a four-window range.
The central entrance consists of a six-panel, part-glazed door that is framed by a moulded wood surround and topped with a straight hood supported by shaped brackets. To the left of the door, there is a 19th-century rendered section with incised masonry patterns and a pair of three-light casement windows featuring blank segmental-arched heads. To the right of the door, there are additional three-light casement windows. The gabled roof includes dormer windows with three-light casements, except for a two-light casement in the dormer above the door. The timber frame displays arch-braces and rendered infill. At the rear, there is a single-storey lean-to extension with a slate roof.
Inside, the cottage features an inglenook fireplace with a chamfered bressumer and moulded and chamfered spine beams.
