Description
This is a late 18th or early 19th century pair of houses, Rosefield and Homefield, situated on the north-east side of Polebarn Road. The houses are three storeys high and built of Bath stone, featuring a projecting plinth and rusticated ground floor treatment. A plain string runs at the level of the first-floor window sills, with a carved string and diaper pattern above the second-floor window sills. The building is finished with a plain frieze, a moulded cornice, and a parapet incorporating balustraded panels above the windows. The front is divided into four bays by full-height, slightly projecting pilasters with a raised key pattern. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars.
The main entrance to Rosefield House is in the second bay from the left. It features a half-glazed door with reeded lower panels and a rectangular fanlight with curved and radiating details. A stone porch has two pairs of slender piers with an incised key pattern, supporting a panelled architrave carved with key fret and diamond patterns, and a small balustrade with angle blocks enriched with fan motifs. The porch has small arched openings to the sides and a three-centred arch supported on offsets to the piers above the central entrance. The design reflects the influence of Sir John Soane. A large, three-storey extension with 1+6 windows, built in the 1950s in a sympathetic style, now provides the main entrance to Homefield House.
A two-storey bow window is present on the south-east return of the main house, and another on the north-west end, which has small cast iron flower guards. A pair of cast iron gate standards with diagonal panels and urn finials stand at the roadside, along with a small wrought iron gate leading to Homefield House. One rusticated stone pier remains, bearing a key pattern at its base. Rosefield Cottage, the adjoining wall between Rosefield and the Police Station, and numbers 1 to 15 (consecutive) form a group.
