'Rosebank', 100 King's Road, Belfast, County Down, BT5 7BW

Rosebank is a substantial two and a half-storey Freestyle suburban detached house built in 1896. It is prominently set on rising ground to the northeast side of King's Road and is finished in rendered stone with Flemish-style gables and asymmetric bays. The building is currently recorded on the heritage register and has most recently served as a children's home and outpatients centre.

The asymmetrical front elevation faces roughly west. The main entrance is set slightly to the right of centre on the ground floor, consisting of a large segmental-headed opening with bevelled reveal, filled with a partly glazed timber double door with narrow sidelights and fanlight. A disabled access ramp leads to the entrance. To the left of the entrance is a full-height square bay topped with a Flemish gable. The ground floor of this bay contains a grouping of three flat-arched windows with plate glazed timber sash frames, with the outer windows being narrower. Identical groupings appear on the first floor, whilst at second floor level there are a pair of similar but shorter windows. Windows to the ground floor share a cill, whilst those to the upper floors are set on moulded cill courses. The lower cill course continues as a string course across the north, south and west elevations. Similar string courses appear above window height to the first and second floors, with the lower one also continuing around the building. Between these and the cill courses are decorative moulded panels. Plain in-out moulded quoins appear at ground floor level of the bay, with vermiculated quoins to the first floor.

Directly above the entrance is a large window similar to those previously described but with a moulded surround. Above this is a small half-dormer with a window of modern timber frame. To the right of the entrance is a two-storey canted bay with windows to each face on both floors, as before, but with a modern frame to the centre window on the first floor. This bay has panels between the cill and string courses. Above the bay is a large Flemish-style gabled half-dormer with a window of modern frame.

The front elevation is finished in plain render to the ground floor and roughcast render above, all painted. There are quoins corresponding to those on the full-height bay, a bevelled base course, and a moulded eaves course. The gables have moulded edges to their parapets and simple block-like finials. The other elevations are finished in similar fashion. Much of the render is recent; the upper floors were originally faced in brick.

To the left-hand side of the ground floor of the north gable is a relatively small single-storey flat-roofed extension with a doorway to its east face. To the left on the first floor is a window as those to the first floor front. To the second floor there are two windows of differing size; the narrower window to the left has a sash frame, whilst that to the right has a modern frame and does not appear to be original.

To the ground floor on the south gable is a window with modern PVC frame to the left. Roughly to the centre of the first floor is a doorway with modern door (created for the fire escape). To the right of this is a window with a PVC frame. To the second floor there is a doorway to the left, with two windows to the right of this, similar to the second floor windows on the north gable. A large spiral fire escape stair has been erected next to the south gable, erected during the building's use as a children's home and outpatients centre.

To the rear of the building is a relatively large, two-storey double-pile return which covers most of the rear elevation apart from a small section to the right (north). To the left-hand side of the ground floor of the north face of the return is a small flat-roofed extension, to the south of which is a large oil tank. To the west face of the extension is a doorway with modern door. To the right of the extension on the return proper is a small window with PVC frame and a doorway to the right of this with modern door. To the left on the first floor is a broad, probably enlarged, window with PVC frame, to the right of which is a much smaller louvered opening set at a high level.

To the ground floor of the east face of the return are three relatively small windows. That to the right has a timber sash frame, with PVC frames to those to the left, which are grouped closely together. To the first floor there are two windows to right of centre; the left is filled with decorative stained glass, whilst the other, slightly larger, has a PVC frame.

To the south face of the return, which is flush with the south gable of the main section of the building, there are two windows to the ground floor, both with PVC frames. To the first floor is a similar-sized window with a timber sash frame, partly set within a small gable. To the exposed section of the rear elevation of the main section of the building, that is the section to the right of the return, there is a window to the ground floor with a PVC frame. To the second floor is a modern half-dormer with what appears to be a flat roof.

The roof, including the return, is slated. There is a large corbelled brick chimneystack to each of the two main gables. The rainwater goods are a mixture of cast-iron and PVC.

The building sits within a relatively large garden to the front and northwest. To the immediate north is a modern single-storey dwelling believed to have been built around 1977 for a caretaker. To the immediate northwest of the house is a mature monkey puzzle tree. The garden is enclosed from the road by a tall Bradstone wall with a vehicle gateway to the west end.
