The Dower House

The Dower House, formerly known as Rosehill Cottage, is a house built around 1880, likely designed by G. Devey for Lord Northesk. The building features a combination of brick rendering, tile-hung, and half-timbered gables. It has two storeys and an attic, with two gables and a two-bay deep parallel range at the back, along with a one-bay wing to the left and a two-span block with an attached wing at the rear on the right.

The front of the house includes a two-storey canted bay with five-light casements on both floors and two-light casements in the gable on each side of the bay. There are giant pilasters flanking the bay, with a cornice running from each side at the first floor level. In the centre, there is a projecting full-height porch featuring a top-glazed timber structure on the ground floor, which is jettied all around. The first floor has a coved bressemer and rustic stucco quoins, along with a three-light casement. To the left, there are two-light cross windows on each floor, with rusticated quoins at the corners and a full-height canted bay on the left gable end.
