Description
9 Rosebery Crescent is a plain classical house built in the later 19th century by John Chesser. It is three stories high with a basement and features three bays, including a three-light canted bay. The exterior is made of polished, coursed sandstone ashlar, with a droved finish at the basement. The house has a base course, a cill course on the first and second floors, a cornice, and a blocking course. The entrance is highlighted by a corniced doorpiece with abbreviated pilasters on either side of a margin-framed doorway.
On the west elevation, the entrance door and fanlight are located beneath the platt to the central bay at the basement level. There are windows on each face of the canted bay to the left on all floors, and a window in the bay to the right, also on all floors. The ground floor features a panelled timber door with a rectangular fanlight above it, while windows above are present on the upper floors.
The windows consist of two-pane timber sash and case windows on the ground floor and multi-pane windows on the upper floors. The roof is concealed, and there is a coped, rendered stack on the right with tall cylindrical cans. The property also includes fleur-de-lys iron railings that surround the oversailing entrance platt and are set into the coping along the street.
