Rose Cottage, along with two other Listed Buildings forming the complex of buildings at Little Stanneylands, were considered as part of a heritage statement produced in 2017 in support of a planning application for a residential development on land at Stanneylands Road, Wilmslow.

The Tithe Map for the area dating to 1841 depicts four buildings at Little Stanneylands including Rose Cottage, the farmhouse, a barn and a fourth building on the north side of the complex, in all forming a courtyard pattern. At this time, access into the complex was between farmhouse and the barn onto Stanneylands Road. The Tithe Apportionment records that the Little Stanneylands plot and a number of fields to the north and east were in the ownership of the Earl of Stamford and occupied by either Hesketh Goddard or John Warburton.

Ordnance Survey mapping reveals that the fourth building to the north, which formerly enclosed the courtyard with the other three buildings of the Little Stanneylands group, was demolished during the early twentieth century. The three remaining buildings were converted or redeveloped for private residential use in the mid-late twentieth century.
