Description

Roselle, also known as No. 31 The Old House, is likely a 17th-18th century building altered in the early 19th century. It is a two-storey, five-bay structure with a rendered brick exterior and an old tile roof. The ground floor has one window, a 19th-century door within a modern glazed porch, and two further windows. A moulded brick band runs along the first-floor level. The first floor features five windows, all 19th century, mullioned, and with likely earlier brick hood moulds above. To the left of the original building is an early 19th-century extension, named ‘Roselle’, featuring colour-washed brick and a tiled roof. This extension has a single sash window on the left with Gothic arched glazing, a modern door within a trellis porch, and a smaller window on the right. The extension connects with No. 33, Lenten Cottage. The three properties comprise a group.
