Description

Rowan House is a Grade II listed building, originally two houses that have been combined into one. It likely dates from the late 18th century and is constructed of coursed sandstone with a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and features three first-floor windows. It has quoins, and the openings are framed with ashlar surrounds. Below the central first-floor window, there is a four-panel door topped by a two-pane overlight, all within a surround that has bases. To the left of this door, there is a window that may have originally been a door. On the extreme right, there is a round-arched doorway that has been converted into a window, complete with a keystone. The ground floor has 16-pane sash windows in the first and third bays, also featuring keystones. The roof has shaped kneelers and ashlar coping, with brick stacks located at the ends and between the second and third bays.

At the rear, some windows have chamfered ashlar surrounds. There are two round-arched staircase windows that include Gothick glazing bars. Near one of the first-floor windows, there is an ashlar stone inscribed with the words "CHEESE ROOM."
