Rose Cottage

Rose Cottage is a house of probable 16th-century origin, significantly remodelled in the late 20th century. It is constructed of buff-grey local rubble, now plastered and limewashed, and has a thatched roof with decorative ridge detailing. Stone chimneys are at each end; a square chimney to the left is raised in brick, while the right gable features a rectangular stone stack. The front elevation originally had doorways at each end, with a four-centred arch. The left-hand arch is now blocked, and the right-hand doorway has a late 20th-century boarded door. This doorway, and its surround, was moved in a later alteration and originally stood one bay to the left, opposite the front gate. Between the doorways are two large casement windows with three lights and transoms. The first floor has matching three-light casement windows, a smaller two-light window between them, and a small window to the left. The last two openings are the only original features dating before the late 20th century. A lean-to extension with a boarded door and chimney is to the right, along with two small windows in the gable end above. To the left is a lean-to with a modern tiled roof and two windows to the north end. The rear elevation features a lean-to and all late 20th-century windows.

The interior was not accessible during a recent survey, but appears to have undergone considerable remodelling in the late 20th century. Records from the Royal Commission on Ancient and Historical Monuments in Wales (RCAHMW) show the house prior to these alterations, revealing a baffle entry through the original left-hand doorway, a gable fireplace with an oven and a firestair, and a central doorway, presumed to be an 18th-century insertion although with older surrounds.
