Rosevine Including Garden Wall, Gate-Piers And Gate Adjoining West

Rosevine is a house, likely dating from the late 17th or 18th century, with significant remodelling and extensions around the mid-19th century. It is constructed of stone rubble and cob with slate roofs, featuring crested ridge tiles, three hipped sections at the front, and a gable-ended range at the rear. The chimneys are brick with rendered shafts on the front range and gable end, and a lateral stack on the rear range. The original plan comprised a two-room range at the rear, with a lateral stack heating the left-hand room and a gable stack serving the right-hand room; a straight staircase and a front doorway sit between these rooms. A front range was added in the mid-19th century, creating two principal rooms and a stairwell.

The west front presents a nearly symmetrical three-window facade with restored two-light casements featuring margin glazing bars. The ground floor casements are French casements, while the centre first floor window is a late 19th or 20th-century four-pane sash. The central doorway has a panelled double door with original panes, a moulded architrave, and a glazed canopy supported by ornate wrought-iron brackets. A 20th-century conservatory is on the right (south) side, and the left side of the house, facing the road, has two 19th-century 16-pane sashes and a 19th-century glazed and panelled door. The rear elevation was not inspected.

A garden wall runs along the left end of the front on the north side of the front garden and is rendered stone with weathered coping. It incorporates rendered square gate-piers with pyramidal caps and a good 19th-century ornate cast-iron gate.

Inside, much of the 19th-century joinery remains, alongside surviving 18th-century joinery including two-panel doors and a plank partition beside the staircase in the rear range. The front range houses a mid-19th-century open-well staircase with stick balusters and a moulded mahogany handrail. The left-hand front room features a marble chimneypiece with reeded pilasters likely imported from another property. The front right-hand room has a wooden reeded pilaster chimneypiece with a 19th-century cast-iron grate and a pilastered elliptically headed alcove. Both front rooms have panelled window shutters. The rear range showcases thin ceiling joists, a renewed granite lintel to the left-hand gable end stack, and a rebuilt fireplace with a 20th-century range. The roof over the rear range has reset lapped collars and principals, while the front range has a pegged softwood structure.
