Rosedean House

Rosedean House is a town house built around 1870 by Henry Rice. It features coursed faced polychrome rubble with a granite plinth and freestone, topped with a bitumen-grouted slate roof that has a modillion eaves cornice and brick stacks. The building has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys high, with a four-window range that includes leaf-pattern keyed segmental arches over horned sash windows.

On the ground floor, there is a wide carriage doorway on the left with a pair of six-panel doors. To the right, the front is symmetrical, featuring a round-arched doorway flanked by two canted three-light bay windows, which have segmental-headed lights and two-pane horned sashes, all topped with quatrefoil pierced parapets. The round-headed doorway is adorned with a petalled fanlight and a four-panel door, accessed by five steps leading up to a porch supported by three columns and anta to each side. This porch features a Moorish arch with an enriched architrave, topped by an entablature with a modillion cornice. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
