Description
Rosemoor is a house that was originally a hunting lodge, built in the early to mid 19th century, with a service wing added in 1925. The structure is made of plastered stone rubble, possibly with some brick, and features brick or stone rubble stacks with plastered chimney shafts, topped by a slate roof. The house has an L-shaped layout, with the main block facing southwest and consisting of a three-room plan that includes an entrance hall. The left room has an end stack, while the central room has a rear lateral stack. The entrance hall and the right room, which also has an end stack, are in a taller section that projects forward from the main front.
The exterior displays a three-over-two window arrangement. The first-floor windows are original 16-pane sashes, but the ground floor windows were replaced around 1987 with two French windows on the left and an aluminum-framed window on the right, which has stucco voussoirs above it. The front doorway is located to the right of center and features a part-glazed six-panel door with an overlight, sheltered by a flat-roofed timber porch with a moulded entablature. A glass-roofed verandah extends across the front of the recessed left section and wraps around the left end of the house. The roof is hipped at both ends. The interior was not accessible for inspection at the time of this survey.
