Description
Alderley House, formerly known as Rose Hill School, is a country house built in 1860, attributed to the architect Lewis Vulliamy. The building is constructed of ashlar with a Cotswold stone slate roof and features stone stacks with multiple polygonal ashlar shafts topped with moulded cornices. It is designed in the Jacobethan style and has a double range U-plan layout with a single-storey porch at the eastern end.
The entrance front includes a central stepped gable adorned with pinnacles, flanked by smaller gables that face inward towards the wings. The main block consists of five bays, with the end wings projecting forward by two bays. The windows are stone mullion and transom types, featuring a continuous dripmould on each floor. The central bay has a canted bay window with five lights and two additional side lights, topped with a parapet that displays a dolphin motif and the initials RBH.
Projecting from the canted bay is a single-storey porch with a diamond-pierced parapet and offset angle buttresses topped with pinnacles. The porch features double timber doors with "strapwork" panelling. The inner face of the wings also has a single-storey projecting bay with a diamond-pierced parapet. Decorative rainwater heads, which bear the date 1860 and a heron motif, flank the porch and are located on each wing.
The garden facade showcases three large gables, with a central Dutch gable and flanking stepped gables, along with two smaller gables in between. The two end bays are canted and display coats of arms on their parapets, while the central bay is square and projects to form a continuous unit with a dormer and gable above.
Alderley House was used as a school, known as Rose Hill School, from 1939 until it was converted back into a private residence in 2009.
