7/37 Rosechurch Cottage

GV II

Cottage. Probably C18 and C19, renovated circa 1980. Exposed local stone rubble;
stone rubble stacks with plastered brick chimneyshafts; thatch roof, concrete tile
roof to early C20 roof.
Plan: 3-room plan cottage facing south-east. The left (south-west) room has an
axial stack backing onto the centre room and the right room has a gable-end stack.
In fact there is a straight join between the left and centre rooms. The left room
appears to have been a 1-room plan cottage. It was enlarged or another cottage was
built alongside; the evidence is not clear. In the early C20 a sun room extension
was added onto the left end. Cottage is 2 storeys.
Exterior: irregular 4-window front of C19 and C20 casements with glazing bars and
including a small C20 canted bay window right of centre. The front doorway is at
the left end, and it includes a C20 part-glazed door behind a contemporary thatch-
roofed porch. The front was evidently stuccoed in the C19 since a quoin strip
survives at the left end. The C20 extension at the left end includes an arch-headed
doorway. The roof is gable-ended.
Interior was not available for inspection at the time of this survey.
