Description
Rosemead is a house, likely originally a farmhouse, dating from the early 17th century. The house has a brick plinth and the upper walls are roughcast, probably over timber framing, with an old plain-tile roof. Brick ridge stacks are located to the left and right of the centre of the building. It is a 4-unit lobby-entry plan. The house is two storeys high and has a four-window front. A 20th-century plank door is set within a 19th-century brick porch at the right of centre. Most windows are 3-light wooden casements, with the exception of 2-light casements on the ground floor to the left and right. All ground-floor windows, except for the one on the left, have wooden cornices. Rendered panels decorate the first floor; the centre panel depicts flowers in pots, the panel to the right shows a fleur-de-lys, and the panel furthest right displays a star. The right return shows timber framing visible on the first floor and a double Queen-post roof truss is visible in the gable end. The interior was not inspected.
