Tea Rose Cottage And Corner Cottage

Tea Rose Cottage and Corner Cottage are two houses built together, dated and inscribed above the left entrance with "C & GC 1707" (for Christopher and Grace Gibson) along with the Gibson coat-of-arms. The buildings feature painted rendered walls, flush red sandstone quoins, and moulded string courses. They have a graduated sandstone slate roof with coped gables and kneelers, and the chimney stacks are partly rebuilt in red sandstone. Both houses are two storeys high with two bays each, sharing a common roof.

Tea Rose Cottage, on the left, has a central panelled door set in a bolection architrave beneath a pulvinated frieze and cornice. It also features sash windows surrounded by red sandstone. Corner Cottage, on the right, has similar architectural details, including a panelled door in a flush quoined surround and sash windows without glazing bars in stone surrounds. At the rear, there is a central gabled stair wing and flanking outshuts, which appear to be contemporary with the main buildings. Christopher Gibson served as the agent to the Musgrave family when this house was constructed.
