This house was built in the 18thc.; it appears on a 1773 map. In the 19thc. it was two houses called 'Rose Cottage Villas' and remained two houses until the late 20thc., when it became a single house. Many stones from the nearby Cistercian nunnery, Stanley Abbey (founded 1154), were reused in its construction, including a section of roll moulding from an arch in the front wall of the house.
