Rock House

Rock House is a house dating from the early to mid 18th century. It is constructed of ashlar with quoins and features a double Roman tiled roof with coped raised verges, behind a partly balustraded parapet, and a modillioned cornice. The architectural style is Provincial Baroque. The building has two storeys and attics with modern dormers, and it is three bays wide. The windows are glazing bar sash types set in moulded architraves with carved keystones. Notably, there is a blocked Venetian window with a flat shell in the arch on the first floor, while the casement window below is a 20th-century addition. The central entrance features a six-panel door within an elaborately moulded architrave, topped by a swan-neck pediment on consoles. Inside, the ground floor room boasts a decorative plaster ceiling and two shell-headed niches flanking the fireplace, with the right-hand niche having panelled doors. Historical documents suggest the house dates to around 1723.
