The place has historic value for its association with pensioner guard Hughes, the Donegan and Chitty families. The place has historic value as a good example of an 1870's pensioner guard cottage and it makes a contribution to the townscape of Toodyay.
A single storey red brick cottage with hipped iron roof, brick chimney and return verandah. Gabled side extension with tuck pointing. Flemish bond brickwork and timber casement windows. Rusting roofs and straining to verandah base.
The original owner in 1862 was Pensioner Guard Evan hughes. Later T.J. Donegan bought the place and made additions to the house. He ran Throssell's Newcastle Store after transferring from Northam following his father's death. in 1899 he bought the Victoria Hotel and made considerable extensions to it and had his own store. In 1891 Thomas Donegan's widow went to live at 'Rose Cottage' so she could be close to the family. In 1929, Donegan's cousin, C.F. Chitty, purchased the place and moved there to enable his children to attend school after the Ten Mile School closed.
