Believed to date from the early 17th century, and included in the book "Every House Tells A Story" by the Langford History Group*, Rose Cottage is a charming country cottage steeped in history, with a wealth of character features including 2' thick exterior walls, exposed beams and latched doors plus a delightful enclosed walled garden, and off-street parking for 2 cars.

The large sheltered porch to the front of the property leads to the wooden front door that opens directly into the spacious sitting room via a curtained vestibule area. With exposed ceiling beams and a large inglenook fireplace to one end and a wood burner to the other, this characterful room gives the first indication of the historical nature of Rose Cottage. Light streams in through the 2 windows overlooking the front garden. Beyond the sitting room is a hallway leading onwards to a bedroom that could be used as an additional reception/snug/home office if required. The high ceiling with 2 Velux windows gives a sense of space and light and there is direct garden access via a wooden door. The downstairs bathroom includes a small original stair window believed to date from the 17th century and is off a hallway providing further garden access. The dining room features a triple bay window with wonderful views over the enclosed garden, and leads on to the kitchen, which has been carefully designed to maximise space and includes a good range of base units and a small Rayburn (currently de-commissioned) along with a gas hob and an integrated double oven plus space for a washing machine. Off the kitchen is another hallway providing garden access, beyond which is a double bedroom with a small en-suite shower room. Upstairs there are 2 double bedrooms, both with beams and wonderful views over the surrounding countryside.

Outside – to the front there is off street parking for 2 cars and a pretty, enclosed front garden with a small stone lean-to. The enclosed cottage garden provides scope for the keen gardener, and is accessible from the road via a wooden gate, or via 3 different doors from the house. Mainly laid to lawn, with a variety of established shrubs and bushes, in one corner there is a raised terrace area and arbour to sit and enjoy the surroundings. An old cast iron pump provides another nod to the historical features of Rose Cottage.
