Rose Lea Farmhouse And Attached Barn

Rose Lea Farmhouse and the attached barn are a laithehouse dating from the early to mid-19th century. The building is constructed of coursed squared gritstone and features a graduated stone slate roof with quoins. The long range consists of a two-storey, two-bay house on the left and a barn with a byre on the right.

The house has a central four-panel door set in a quoined surround, flanked by four-pane sash windows with stone lintels and projecting sills on both floors. The laithe has a cart entrance on the left, which features board double doors, quoined jambs, and splayed voussoirs leading to a flat arch. To the right, the byre door also has quoined jambs forming a corner. There are slit vents located above and to the left of the byre door. The building is topped with shaped kneelers and ashlar gable coping, and there are end stacks on the house. This structure is a rare example of a small farm characteristic of its period.
