1 And 2, Rose Hill

The houses at 1 and 2 Rose Hill are a pair of semi-detached houses dating to around 1820, with later additions and alterations. They are adjoined at the rear to No. 75 London Road. The houses are constructed primarily of red-orange brick with painted stone sills, and have a hipped roof covered in plain clay tiles with dentilled eaves. A brick stack with overhanging detail and pots is situated on the ridge and the left gable end. Timber doorcases are prominent.

The left-hand house (No.1) is a double-depth plan with a lobby entrance on the right. The right-hand house is aligned at a right angle and has a single-depth plan. The Rose Hill elevation was likely originally designed to appear as a single, symmetrical house; the entrance to No. 2 is located in the right-return. The houses are three storeys high and include a cellar. The facade has four windows on the first floor, arranged as a 2:2 pattern. The second floor has 3/3 sash windows, while the ground floor windows are mostly 6/6, except for the right-hand window which is 2/2. Most windows are replacements with horns, set in near-flush frames with sills, and feature flat gauged brick arches over the ground- and first-floor openings. A stone staircase with two risers leads to the entrance of No. 1, where there is a raised and fielded 6-panel door and a radial-pattern fanlight with segmental margin-glazing, set within a panelled pilaster doorcase with an open pediment. A two-storey wing extends from the left-return, displaying dentilled eaves and a blind window on the ground floor under a flat gauged brick arch, without a sill. A first-floor window on the same wing is partially bricked in and lacks a sill. The entrance to No. 2 is through a single-storey outshot to the right-return, featuring a glazed roof concealed behind a parapeted front wall, alongside a matching doorcase to No. 1, but with a plain fanlight and a replacement part-glazed panelled door.

The south-facing elevation (London Road) is three storeys high. A 6/6 sash window and a 3/3 window are present on the first and second floors respectively; these are replacement windows with horns in near-flush frames with sills, and flat gauged brick arches. The outshot below contains a multi-pane sash window with side-lights. To the right of this elevation is a two-storey wing with brick coping to a parapeted gable. An oriel window on the first floor accommodates 2/2:8/8:2/2 sash windows. The elevation also includes 20th-century windows and a glazed door with overlight to ground-floor. The interior of the houses has not been inspected.
