Summary

Now a single dwelling, this building until 1979 was a pair of cottages. Their plan and construction suggest a 19th century date and they were probably built as a pair of estate cottages – very likely by the Carews of Marley House who owned the hamlet for most of the 19th century.

Now a single dwelling, this building until 1979 was a pair of cottages. Their plan and construction suggest a 19th century date and they were probably built as a pair of estate cottages – very likely by the Carews of Marley House who owned the hamlet for most of the 19th century. The quality of the masonry very much resembles that of the lodge cottage at the drive gate to Marley House on the east side of the river Harbourne beyond the hamlet. This must have been built before 1827 when the re-alignment of the turnpike road cut across the drive lower down.
Site: south-facing parallel to the road.
Material: neat slate rubble masonry. Slate roof. It appears that the east wall incorporates the west wall of a pre-existing barn that stood in front of Court Gate Farmhouse in 1843 but has been removed since.
Plan: double pile under single span slate roof. Two rooms wide each with front door opening into front room. No communication between halves of building. Internal partition of timber framing with stone filling (thin). Brick arched fireplace at each gable end. Moderately sized square stone chimneys.
Marley Map Book. Bound in 1808 but with some individual maps dated as early as 1790 shows what seems to be this house; difficult to be sure; the small scale and the map drawer’s artistic licence with shapes and proportion makes it difficult to understand. It may be represented by no. 28: House and Garden.
The Tithe Apportionment shows the house clearly as two semi-detached cottages listed with three others as ‘Harbourneford Cottages’. Plot 2416-17 (owner Lady Elizabeth Carew. Occupier Robert Tucker and others).

Rose Cottage is depicted on the modern mapping.
