Period
History
Early C19. The terrace carries a stone above the entry marked with the letters D E J and the date 1832, though Cartrefle may be a little earlier. many of the windows have a stylistic feature (diagonally crossed bars in the upper parts of the lights) found locally from about 1815. The initials appear to link these cottages with Victoria Terrace nearby.
Exterior
One of two single fronted cottages in the terrace, but varied, probably as an afterthought to the original design, to have two upper windows. This cottage retains the characteristic crossed glazing bars in the heads of the lights of both the uper windows and the lower window. Six panel door probably original, with the top panels glazed.
Interior
Reason for designation
An integral part of a terrace of early C19 cottages, well preserved apart from some minor alterations of detail.
Group Description
Cartrefle and Nos.1-4 Rose Cottages, with walled and railed forecourt

The latter four consist of one single fronted, two double fronted, and one single fronted with an additional window over the door of the last. The terrace is in local light red brick at front, uncoursed stonework at rear and right gable; the exposed part of the left gable is slate-hung above brickwork. Slate roof with tile ridge and five mid-chimneys.
