Description
Rose Hill and the former barn is a farmhouse and barn combination dating from the mid-17th century, with alterations and additions made in the 18th century. The building features whitewashed rubble walls and is topped with a graduated greenslate roof, which includes rebuilt brick and sandstone chimney stacks. It stands two storeys high and consists of two bays, with the barn on the right now integrated into the house under a common roof. There is also a rear two-storey, two-bay extension that creates an overall L-shape.
On the ground floor, there are two-light windows with stone mullions that have been removed, one of which has been enlarged to serve as a doorway, both under a continuous hoodmould. There is also a small fire window on the right. Above, the house has sash windows set in chamfered surrounds. The barn features sash windows with glazing bars, including a large ground-floor window and a small fire window on the right, all within stone surrounds. The extension has a central studded plank door framed in a painted chamfered surround, with a left two-light and a right three-light flat stone-mullioned window. At the rear of the house, there is an outshut covered with a corrugated iron roof.
