Rosedene, Historic house museum in Dodford, England
Rosedene features two bedrooms, a living room, a back hall with well and pump, along with an adjacent piggery and coal house structure.
The cottage, constructed in 1849 as part of the Great Dodford Chartist settlement, represents the National Land Company's initiative to provide workers with agricultural properties.
The property demonstrates the nineteenth-century Chartist movement's vision of enabling industrial workers to achieve self-sufficiency through small-scale farming and market gardening.
Visitors can explore the restored cottage and organic garden during guided tours scheduled on the first Sunday of each month from March through December.
The attached piggery transformed into a laundry room between 1915 and 1920 when market gardening became more profitable than raising pigs.
