Building record 400/0/68 - Rose House, Bunkers Hill

House built in the 17th or 18th century with 19th-century alterations. Constructed from ironstone.

{1} Rose House is an L-plan detached, ironstone dwelling which likely dates to the 17th or 18th century, with 19th-century additions. The property stands in a prominent location on the junction of Main Street, Bunkers Hill and Church Hill facing out onto the road and a small green, a characteristic of the Badby Conservation Area. Rose House is four bays wide and two storeys tall with a pitched clay-tile roof. The windows are all timber casement with timber lintels above, and the door is a timber panel door with a fanlight and timber lintel. The dwelling has three chimneys, all brick, sat at the apex of the roof, two at the gable ends one centrally. The western gable has been overbuilt in brick, whilst the eastern gable provides evidence of a once more sharply pitched roof, indicating that the front of the building has perhaps been developed in the 19th century.
