Rose Corner

Rose Corner is a pair of cottages with an entranceway, dated 1927 and designed by Clough Williams-Ellis for Richard Barbour. The building features a combination of partly stuccoed Flemish bond red brick and a hipped green slate roof, along with four brick chimneys. It is designed in the Neo-Palladian style and has a rectangular plan. The structure is two stories high with a symmetrical seven-bay front. The central three bays are highlighted by a detached Tetrastyle portico that draws inspiration from the order of the Tower of Winds. Above the portico, in the triangular pediment, is a plaque that reads "RB 1927." Behind the portico is a semi-circular headed entrance leading to a passageway, with flush 15-pane sash windows below and 12-pane sash windows above. The remaining bays also feature similar sash windows. The end bays are one story high and are set below a curving brick ramp, terminating in plain square pilasters topped with urn finials. This building is a late example of estate cottage construction, which also includes Nos 3 and 4 Rose Corner and Rosemary Row opposite.
