Tudor Rose.
Small cottage. Probably 17th century origins. Colourwashed rendered cob with corrugated iron roof, formerly thatched, axial stack at right end.
The cottage may originally have been part of the inner end of a large 17th century house which was divided into a row of 4 cottages probably in the 18th century. Alternatively, it may have been 1 of a row of small 17th century cottages. Single depth plan, 1 1/2-rooms wide with direct entry into a large heated room to the right, the half room is a small unheated service room to the right.
Two storeys. Asymmetrical 2-window front with a front door on the left under a timber lintel. Small 1-light window under a timber lintel lighting the service room to the left, the other windows are 3-light casements, 3 panes per light, the ground floor window right under a timber lintel.
Interior Plan intact. No access to roofspace at time of survey (1985), but-roof trusses may be of interest.
One of a row of 4 cottages facing the main road through Clawton. 'Tudor Rose' is paired in plan with 'Mazoe' which adjoins at the left and is an unusual survival of a very small 2-room cottage. Other details: LBS no 90668.
