Rosemount Including Adjoining Front Garden Area Walls And Gate Piers

Rosemount, including the adjoining front garden area walls and gate piers, is a house dating from around 1840. The building is rendered, likely from stone rubble, and the front is white-washed. It has an asbestos slate roof with gable ends and deep eaves at the front, featuring shaped paired brackets under the soffit. There are small rendered chimney stacks at the gable ends. The house has a double depth plan with a central entrance hall that contains the stairs, two principal front rooms, and service rooms behind. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has a symmetrical three-window arrangement. The windows are 20-pane sash windows from around 1840, all with concealed boarding. The central doorway features a six-panel moulded door, with the top four panels fielded and the bottom two panels flush, alongside a rectangular fanlight with glazing bars and a diamond-shaped center pane. The front has wooden lattice panels with openwork roundels above, although the lower sections of the sides have been removed, and the porch is now supported by wooden braces. There are round-headed attic windows in the gable ends.

The flanking garden walls, also from around 1840, are made of limestone rubble and are quadrant-shaped, surrounding a large semi-circular front garden. At the front, there is a low retaining wall with a pair of three-square stone gate-piers at either end, topped with pyramidal granite caps. The higher quadrant walls that flank the house are ramped up over rounded-headed doorways on either side, each with a flank door. The interior of the house has not been inspected, but it is described as an unaltered and attractive 19th-century house, likely containing original internal features from that period.
