Rose Cottage the Cottage

Rose Cottage and The Cottage are two early 18th-century houses located in Little Blencow. They are constructed of whitewashed rubble walls, partly covered with roughcast, and have a graduated greenslate roof with brick gable chimney stacks.

The Cottage is two storeys high and three bays wide. It features a 20th-century plank door set within a painted, chamfered surround. The windows are 20th-century casements set in original 18th-century chamfered stone surrounds, with remaining traces of central flat stone mullions. Rose Cottage, to the right, is a single bay and shares a common roof with The Cottage. It has a 19th-century plank door in a painted stone surround. The ground-floor window has an original 18th-century stone surround, with a smaller 19th-century surround above it. A rounded projecting chimney breast is visible on the right return wall. Rear 19th-century extensions are not of architectural interest.
