Property Description
Unique history surrounds this stunning West Nantmeal property that dates back to around 1800's and became known as "ROSE COTTAGE" in 1835 offers a superb blend of rich history and modern amenities with grounds surrounded by the historical stone fencewalls throughout the township roadways. The stone and frame house has been added onto and remodeled over time to become the charming and livable home of today. The interior is graced with exposed beams, deep set windows, random width wood floors, stone wall accents in many rooms, a handmade tile fireplace with stove, a winder staircase and a modern set of stairs and a hand-painted tile vanity in the master bath. The sun room opens off of a wood deck and overlooks Perkins Run as it flows under Rose Cottage Bridge (1914) into the Brandywine across the road on Wyebrook Farm. Little remains of Rose Cottage School inside but the space built as the boy's school is open to the ceiling and waiting for a loft and a new use after being used as a business for many years. This approximate 600 square foot space with separate heating can be closed off from the rest of the house or used as a great room for the family to enjoy. Two bedrooms have ceramic tile master baths and a third bedroom can be used as a sitting room. Storage closets and nooks make it easy to keep everything out of sight. An over-sized two car garage has an attached shed where a workshop can be located. Big trees and the solid stone walls of the house keep the inside cool in summer and cozy in winter. Two thirds of the property is woods and stream while the house is set nicely between two roads. A mortared stone wall surrounds the house portion of the property with dry laid stone walls framing the rest of the property. The property, known for when it was Rose Cottage School, is in an area that is being considered as a historical district. Historical maps, newspaper articles and other materials are available in the house for viewing. The Pennsylvania Turnpike as well as other state highways are easily accessed. Be prepared to fall in love with this house and property!!!
