Description
Rowan House is a house dating from the 17th century with significant alterations in the mid to later 18th century. It is constructed of roughcast rubble stone with a stone tiled mansard roof, hipped at the south end. A large stack is situated between the front and parallel rear ranges. The house is two storeys and an attic, with a two-window front. A hipped dormer window is visible on the front. Raised quoins mark the south-west angle. The first floor has two four-pane sash windows with moulded architraves on the west front, and one similar window on the south return wall. On the ground floor, a rusticated archway on the left side provides access to a six-panel door. To the right of the archway is a sash window within a moulded architrave. A similar sash window is positioned on the ground floor of the south return wall. The roughcast has been removed from the south return wall. Historic photographs indicate a shop window previously occupied the ground floor window. The rear range has a mansard roof to the east and a hipped dormer. A first-floor window features as a three-light recessed ovolo-moulded window to the rear.
