Description

Osborne House is a detached house dating to around 1830, with a later 19th-century addition to the rear. It is accompanied by a walled courtyard that includes a coach house and stable, along with an adjoining garden wall. The house is constructed of ashlar limestone, with coursed rubble to the rear and courtyard areas; it has ashlar chimneys and Welsh slate roofs.

The main two-storey block is complemented by a lower, parallel rear range. The southwest front has a three-window arrangement, with 12-pane sash windows, the outer windows slightly projecting. A central doorway features moulded architraves, glazed double doors, and a portico porch supported by paired square piers, an entablature, and a blocking course. A plain plinth and upper-floor level band run along the front, while projecting eaves define the low-pitched hipped roof. The upper-floor windows retain later 19th-century sunblind valencing. The southeast side has a two-window fenestration, with two eaves-mounted chimneys, one to the side and one to the rear, both featuring a modillion cornice.

The rear service range is lower, with two storeys and a mix of sash and casement windows. The walled courtyard's stable has segmental arched stable doors; a central, parapet-gabled break forward is adorned with kneelers. A central segmental arched doorway is paired with a loft door above. The coach house features a large round arched doorway at the front, with a hipped roof at the rear. Four square piers with gabled, weathered caps mark the end of the walled garden. A central square-headed doorway is present, with outer copings rising to the piers. The remaining parts of the walled garden are not of particular interest.

The interior of the house has a central open-well staircase with slender turned balusters and a rectangular skylight above. The house represents a good example of the villa style, characterized by the retention of complete stabling and coach house facilities within the courtyard.
