Laundry Cottage Rossall Cottage

Rossall Cottage and Laundry is a former service block that has been converted into a pair of cottages. It dates from around 1677, with some alterations and additions made in 1965. The building is constructed of red brick with some painted stone dressings and features a 20th-century concrete tile roof. It was originally one of two service blocks that flanked the forecourt to the north-west of Rossall House, which has since been demolished along with the other service block.

The cottage is two storeys high. The north-east front has a dentil brick eaves cornice and parapeted gable ends with stone copings. There is an external brick lateral stack off-centre to the left at the front and a large brick stack off-centre to the right at the rear. The façade is arranged in a 1:3:1 bay pattern, with a central break that has a flat roof; this area formerly featured a large triangular pediment, which has now been removed. The windows are small-paned wooden cross windows with painted stone cills and gauged-brick heads that have triple keystones. There is an inserted first-floor window on the left and a blind first-floor window on the right. The central entrance features a 20th-century half-glazed door with a Gibbs surround. Additionally, there is a segmental-headed wooden cross window in the right-hand gable end and a flat-roofed one-storey late 20th-century addition to the right. The interior has not been inspected.

Rossall was built for Edward Gosnell, a London merchant who later became the Mayor of Shrewsbury, and it was demolished in 1965.
