1-6, ROSEHILL

Nos. 1-6 Rosehill is a row of cottages built in the mid-to-late 18th century. They are constructed from red brick and topped with plain tile roofs that are hipped over pavilions. The design follows a Palladian style, featuring a central two-bay, two-storey range flanked by one-bay, three-storey pavilions, which are further bordered by three-bay, one-storey ranges with one-bay, two-storey terminal pavilions.

The central block has a dentil brick eaves cornice and an integral brick lateral stack at the rear. The slightly projecting pavilions each have a plat band between the first floor and attic, a dentil brick eaves cornice, and integral brick lateral stacks. The windows are segmental-headed wooden cross windows, except for a pair of central first-floor windows with straight heads, where the ground-floor windows have been replaced with 20th-century casements in the second bay from the left. The pavilions feature lunettes in their attics.

The end bays have segmental-headed boarded doors with flanking segmental-headed sidelights and later gabled porches. The flanking wings each have a dentil brick eaves cornice and a central brick ridge stack. The fronts have two windows, with two-light wooden casements; the left-hand block contains 18th or 19th-century cross-windows, while the right-hand block has 20th-century windows. The central segmental-headed doors include a boarded door with a gabled porch in the left-hand block and a glazed door in the right-hand block.

Each end pavilion has a dentil brick eaves cornice and a central brick ridge stack. The first-floor windows are wooden cross windows, and the ground-floor features segmental-headed half-glazed doors with segmental-headed sidelights. The left-hand end pavilion has a one-storey block to the left with segmental-headed wooden cross windows on the front and side. There is a lean-to at the rear of the right-hand link block and a later parallel range with two external lateral brick stacks at the rear of the left-hand link block. The formal design of these cottages is not entirely clear, but they may have been intended to be an eyecatcher from the nearby Berwick House.
