The Rosery

The Rosery is a house dating from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of yellow Flemish bond brick, with a slate roof. The main front has three bays arranged nearly symmetrically, dominated by a central projecting gabled porch. This porch has a 4-panel door with an overlight, and brackets supporting the hood mould above. A cogged band runs around the building between the ground and first floors. The central first-floor window has a pointed arch, with brackets supporting a hood mould and carved stone faces to either side of the window head. The gable above has moulded bargeboards, a mace finial, a coat of arms, and a vine-trail frieze. To the right of the central window is a sash window with 3x4 panes, and brackets supporting a hood mould. A 20th-century conservatory with a quadrant roof obscures a similar window to the left. On either side of the first floor are sash windows with 3x2 panes, with brackets below the lintels and hood moulds above. The roof is gabled, with two rectangular ridge stacks at the right and left, each featuring two decorated Tudor flues of yellow terracotta. A 20th-century addition obscures part of the left-hand gable end at ground floor level. A sash window of 2x2 panes with brackets and a hood mould is located on the first floor to the right, while a 20th-century plate glass window is situated to the left. Between these windows is a sunken panel of blind tracery with a pointed arch and a surround of moulded brick, and a similarly blind pointed oval to the gable. The right-hand gable end has a ground-floor window of 3x3 panes on the left, and a 20th-century three-light window on the right, both under Tudor hood moulds. At mezzanine level between these windows is a blind window with a pointed arch, moulded surround and Y-tracery. First-floor sash windows of 3x2 panes with brackets and Tudor hood moulds flank the gable apex, which is topped by a pointed oval with a moulded surround. The rear elevation has random window placement on both sides. The interior of the property has not been inspected.
