Description
Rose Cottage, located at 54 Main Street in Dewartown, is an earlier 19th-century single-storey cottage featuring three bays, with later 20th-century extensions and a conservatory at the rear. The front is made of tooled and squared sandstone with polished dressings, and it has long and short rusticated quoins.
The southeast elevation is near symmetrical with three bays. It has a central glazed, panelled timber door topped with a fanlight, and pointed arched timber basket traceried windows on either side. There is a rubble lean-to addition on the outer left.
The northeast elevation is constructed of snecked rubble with droved dressings. It features a 12-pane casement window on the outer right at ground level and a 4-pane window near the centre of the first floor. A later 20th-century addition is located on the far right.
The northwest elevation, dating from 1991, has a two-bay harled extension that projects to the left. This extension includes timber sash and case windows on the ground floor and a circular window in the gable. To the right is a timber-framed conservatory with a piended roof and two roof lights.
The southwest elevation features a harled gable end on the outer right, with a slate-roofed rubble lean-to. In the centre, there is a recessed harled extension from 1986, which has segmental arched timber framed windows. The outer left has the conservatory.
The cottage has timber sash and case windows, a graded purple/grey slate roof with lead ridges, stone skews, cast iron rainwater goods, and gablehead stacks with circular cans. The interior was not seen in 1997.
