Description

Rosedale is a house dating from around 1700 that was a Red Cow beer house by 1816 and became a private residence in the early 20th century. The front is made of brick, covered in roughcast with an impressed pattern of circles, and features a plastered wide soffit beneath the projecting front eaves of a steep old red tile roof. The house has a two-cell, internal-chimney, former lobby-entry plan and stands two storeys high with attics, facing south. At the rear, there are two gabled wings, also two storeys tall. The west front includes a plat-band and three first-floor windows arranged in a 3:2:3 light configuration with casements. The ground floor has a three-light window on the left, a canted bay on the right, and twin small circular windows where a former doorway was located. The entrance is now on the west side, and a narrow red brick chimney rises from the centre of the ridge. Inside, the house features exposed beams.

Rosedale sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 82% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 76% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 60% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
