Rosslyn Tower

Rosslyn Tower was built in the 1870s. It is a brick and stone building with an irregular plan and a series of steeply pitched, gabled roofs. These, along with chimney stacks and pots—some in a Tudor style—create an asymmetrical skyline, dominated by a four-story tower to the rear, topped with a pointed slate roof. The main building material is yellow brick, with darker yellow, blue and red brick used for relieving arches, quoins, and a diaper pattern. Stone dressings and string courses are also present.

The main part of the house is two stories high plus an attic, featuring gabled dormer windows and is three windows wide. The left-hand portion contains one window and is set forward with a gabled front. A porch with a gabled slate roof provides access to the doorway. All gables have highly decorated bargeboards with timber finials at the apex. The two ground floor windows are full height; the left window is set forward in a square, stone-faced bay to create a balcony with a decorated stone parapet to the first-floor window above. The two left-hand windows have hoodmoulds. The right-hand windows form a two-story canted bay. To the right of the main block is a stable with rooms above. The front elevation is completed by a symmetrical composition of matching brick walls and gateposts, with machicolated and crenellated caps.
