Building record 1483700000 - Rose Cottage, Main Road

Rose Cottage is positioned a short distance back from the road edge. It forms part of a group of 19th century labourers cottages built in the village at the time of agricultural prosperity reflecting a need to provide accommodation for an increased work force. The buildings within this group are typically constructed of brick, were semi-detached or terraced and are simple in their original layout and form. The majority have relatively shallow pitched gabled roofs laid or formerly laid in slate and fenestration patterns were typically regular. Rose Cottage is detached, has been rendered and the roofing material has been replaced. The windows of this building have also been altered, but the regularity of the fenestration pattern is retained. Nevertheless the basic simple form, massing and outline of the building are still apparent and its significance lies primarily in its group value. A 'Local Building of Note' within the Conservation Area of Buckland (B1).
