To north of this later C19 wing of 6 windows including 2 storey bay. The Victoria County history says that this house belonged to William Stewart Rose the friend of William Pitt who was called "Pitt's Rose" on that account, and that Scott stayed with him here in 1807 and wrote part of Marmion in the house, also that Coleridge stayed here in 1816. However, the same has also been said of Gundimore nearby (qv) and the latter is more likely.
Lawn Cottage, Nelson's Cottage,Sandhills, its lodge and the street boundary wall and gate piers form a group. The lodge at Sandhills is of local interest.
