Description

Rose Cottage, located at 39 Main Street in Swinton, is an early 19th century house with later additions and alterations. This near-symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay house forms the end of a terrace and is one of a pair, featuring a lean-to garage on the outer left. The exterior is constructed of tooled sandstone rubble, with droved quoins on the left and long and short surrounds around the openings, as well as painted and projecting cills.

On the southeast (entrance) elevation, there is a modern timber panelled door offset to the right of centre, with single windows in both floors of the flanking bays. The lean-to addition on the outer left includes a modern garage door.

The northwest (rear) elevation was not visible in 1998. The house features 4-pane glazing in replacement timber windows and has a grey slate roof that continues with No 41. The roof has a raised and coped skew to the west, a brick apex stack to the southwest, a mutual brick ridge stack to the northeast, and various circular cans.

The interior was not seen in 1998.
