Description
Rose Bank is a house with an older rear section dated and inscribed over the side entrance "T & AW 1689" and over the doorway of an extension "T.H. 1773". The older part of the house has painted rubble walls, while the extension has incised stucco walls with a string course, eaves cornice and V-jointed quoins, standing on a double chamfered plinth. The roofs are covered in graduated greenslate, with banded ashlar chimney stacks.
The extension now forms the main facade, which is two storeys high and two bays wide. The original house, adjoining the rear, has two parts, each two storeys high and two bays wide, arranged in an L-shape. The main facade features a central double door leading up steps, set within a quoined surround and under a keyed lintel with a pediment. Double sash windows are set in painted stone surrounds. Fluted rainwater heads are also present. The left return wall is partly covered with slate.
The older rear section has a plank door within a painted stone architrave and dated lintel, now within a 19th-century stucco porch. Several windows are two-light, chamfered stone-mullioned, while others have mullions removed, with a 20th-century three-light window also present.
