Description
Romeland House is a large mid-18th century house that stands two storeys high with an attic and features seven windows. It was built for the painter Vandermoulen and is constructed from purplish-brown brick with vermilion brick dressings. The house has a brick cornice and a parapet that rises to a pediment over a slightly projecting three-bay centre. The windows have gauged brick arches in shallow, plain reveals, and there is a lunette in the pediment. Square-headed sash windows flank the centre, and there is a Venetian window with a carved keystone and stone impost blocks at the first floor centre. Access to the house is via seven steps leading to a central door with six fielded panels, set in a panelled reveal and framed by a moulded architrave. The doorcase features Tuscan columns, a triglyph frieze, and a mutule cornice with a pediment.
