Description

Goldmine House and Rose Cottage are a house and cottage built around 1870 by architect John Douglas. The building has one and a half storeys and features a substantial, irregular plan. It is constructed of brown brick with oak small framing and has clay tile roofs. The design includes a slightly projecting cross-gable with a one-room wing on the right and a long recessed wing on the left. A zig-zag raised brick band runs along the first floor of the front of the cross-gable and the right wing. There is a projection under a catslide roof at the right end of the left wing, and a driftway to the left under an oak-framed gable supported by brackets. Rose Cottage occupies the bay to the left of the driftway.

The building features a boarded door with ornate hinges and a latch on the left face of the cross-wing, wood-mullioned leaded casements, and a timber-fronted gabled dormer in the right wing. The brickwork to the left of the driftway has blue diapering. Rose Cottage has an inserted casement and probably an inserted sprocketed dormer. There is a flush two-flue brick chimney on the right gable, a flush three-flue chimney at the rear of the cross-wing, and a three-flue chimney on the ridge of the left wing. The windows at the rear have been altered, and the 20th-century modifications to Rose Cottage are not considered of special interest. The interior has not been inspected.

This building was designed to enhance the village landscape and effectively closes the view down Southbank from the village center. It has been described as one of the "very pleasing buildings south of the church" by W. Raffles Davison in The British Architect on December 12, 1884.
