Roscarrack House

Roscarrack House is a country house dating to the 1870s, built for the Bassett family. It is constructed of dressed killas, roughly coursed, with killas rubble and granite dressings, and has dry Delabole slate roofs with gable ends. The principal gable ends and gables feature weathered granite copings, while stone gable, axial, and lateral stacks are present. Projecting eaves display exposed rafter ends, and there are crested clay ridge tiles.

The house has an irregular double-pile plan, likely featuring three principal rooms arranged along the garden front, with service rooms behind a principal axial passage. The entrance is located on the right side, connecting to a cross passage on the left with a rear doorway. A baronial-style tower is situated at the front, and the principal stair hall is positioned at the rear, right of the middle. The architectural style is Baronial Gothic.

The exterior displays two storeys plus attics. The elevations are largely unaltered, except for a 20th-century single-storey addition adjoining the garden front on the left. Transomed granite mullioned windows have vertically sliding sashes to the lower lights, with relieving arches over some. Features include a granite coped plinth, a mid-floor granite string, granite quoins, kneelers, and copings. The irregular south-south-east gabled garden front has a slightly projecting gable end of a cross wing on the left, a three-storey tower adjoining the cross wing, and a projecting gable of the principal cross wing with a four-light canted bay on the right. The other cross wing features a two-light window to the ground and first floors, and a single-light window to the attic gable. Other gables incorporate blind slit ventilators. The tower has a steep hipped roof with hipped roof dormers.

The irregular east-north-east entrance front features a corbelled gable stack and a two-light window to both ground and first floors. A gabled porch with a moulded four-centred arched doorway stands to the right of the middle, with a small window above. A single-light window is positioned at ground floor level on the left, and a similar window is on the first floor to the right. The rear elevation includes a tall two-light stair window towards the left.

The interior has not been inspected but is likely to contain many interesting features.
