Description
Rose Cottage is a former mine lodge that has been converted into a private house, built around 1875. The structure is made of red sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof. It has one storey and an attic, with a compact T-shaped plan.
The front facing the road has quoins and an ashlar three-by-one light bay window on the right, which has chamfered mullions and wooden side brackets supporting a lean-to roof. On the left, there is a two-light mullioned window and a single shouldered light above it, set in a gabled half dormer. A ridge stack on the left has a later brick chimney.
At the rear, the wing features a corbelled stack flanked by shouldered windows. The right side has an original doorway into the wing, marked by a shouldered lintel. The left gable has a three-light mullioned window beneath a shouldered single light, with an oversailing verge.
Rose Cottage is part of a group of buildings associated with the iron-ore mine that served Stank No.2 pit, and it is included for its group value.
