Description
The Rosary is a house located on Melton Station Road, dating from around the mid-18th century, with significant alterations made in the early 19th and 20th centuries. The building is timber framed and features a colourwashed red brick facade topped with a 20th-century interlocking clay tiled roof. It has a lobby entrance and stands two storeys tall with an attic. The house has a three-window range, with sash windows set in flush frames that include glazing bars, and ground floor windows fitted with louvered shutters. There are two dormer windows with casements. A brick entrance porch, adorned with pilasters and an entablature, features a wrought iron balustrade. The entrance includes a six fielded panelled door topped by a rectangular fanlight. Red brick stacks are present at both gable ends, and there are wrought iron railings on a brick plinth surrounding the front garden. The building is included for its group value.
