Description
Rosemead is a 17th-century house constructed of cob with a stone plinth and roughcast finish, topped by a thatched roof with gabled ends. It likely features a former three-room, cross passage plan with a front wing. The main range has an external left-hand end stack, while the wing has an external right-hand lateral stack. The house is two storeys tall.
On the front, there is one three-light window on both floors of the main range, each with eight panes per light, and a 20th-century thatched porch. The left side of the wing has one three-light window above and one two-light and one three-light window on the ground floor, the latter featuring hood moulds that are likely 19th-century, similar to those found on other buildings in the Poltimore estate, such as The Old Smithy and Church View. The front of the wing is buttressed and has a small two-light window, with a similar window located to the left of the wing stack. To the right end of the main range, there are three 19th-century casement windows.
At the rear, there is a slated lean-to and two flat-faced timber mullioned windows, each with two lights. Inside, an ovolo moulded beam and fireplace lintel can be seen in the left-hand room, although the interior has not been inspected.
