Roscoe Terrace

Roscoe Terrace, No. 1, is a house located in Armley, Leeds. It dates from the late 17th century and has some alterations from the 18th century. The building is constructed from coursed gritstone and features a low-pitched stone slate roof. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and has two windows on the south side. The corners of the house are marked by quoins. The entrance is positioned to the left of centre and includes a half-glazed door with a painted stone lintel, accompanied by a small circular stone window to the right. On the ground floor, there are 4-light stone recessed chamfered mullion windows, with the right window having three lights that are casements. A weathered date stone is set into the wall at the height of the first-floor lintel. The upper-floor windows are notably set well below the eaves line. At the rear, the windows have plain stone surrounds and mullions, featuring small-pane sashes, with two side-sliding sashes located below the eaves. Inside, the house is reputed to have chamfered ceiling beams with straight stops. This house is particularly interesting as the mullioned windows suggest it may have originally been a 17th-century farmhouse that was altered or rebuilt to include a weaving loft in the roof space. It is also reputed to have been the Cat and Fiddle Inn.
