1 Rose Cottages
One of the few one-window fronted houses in the village whose modest appearance is essential to reflecting the varied social structure of the village in former times. Its massive stacks, slated roof, plank door and flush-framed casement windows contribute greatly towards Lydford’s architectural and historic character, as does the rustic stone wall protecting its garden.
