Description
Rossholme is a house, probably from the mid-18th century, with possible earlier origins. It is built from coursed squared marlstone with ashlar dressings and features a concrete plain-tile roof with stone-and-brick end stacks. The house has a two-unit plan and stands two storeys plus an attic high. The front has three windows and rises from a chamfered plinth, with a central doorway and tall 20th-century casements beneath ashlar flat arches that have projecting keyblocks. The steep-pitched roof includes a gable parapet on the right with projecting moulded kneelers. The interior has not been inspected. Rossholme may have once been part of Hill House, which was known as The White Lion Inn. It is included for its group value.
