Description

Chapel Rossan is a 2-storey house dating from after 1848, possibly incorporating an earlier building. It displays Gothick architectural detailing and is harled with painted ashlar margins incorporating simple label stops and painted quoin strips. Pointed-arched openings and Gothick glazing appear on the west elevation.

The principal west elevation features a broad canted bay to the left with a studded door flanked by columns and a 2-light traceried pointed-arched fanlight above it. A window sits at first-floor level, with windows between floors to the north-west and south-west faces of the bay, which has a half-polygonal roof with overhanging eaves. Two windows occupy both floors to the right of the bay. A further bay projects from the outer left, with a ground-floor window and a raised wallhead above its eaves. A single-storey wing recessed to the right contains a door to its left. A rubble garden wall raised in brick adjoins further to the right, with a pointed-arched gateway to the left.

The north elevation has a lean-to wing adjoined with a raised wallhead above eaves to the west.

The south elevation displays a gable to the left with a first-floor window. A flat-roofed single-storey wing adjoins at ground floor with two south-facing windows. A further painted rubble single-storey wing adjoins to the right and connects to a lean-to on the north side, featuring a French window to the left, a central window, and a glazed door to the right. This wing is piended to the west and gabled to the east.

The east elevation has a gabled jamb advanced left of centre with windows to left and right at ground floor and a bipartite window at first-floor centre. A single-storey lean-to adjoins the south return with a glazed door to the east. A full-height flat-roofed bay in the re-entrant angle to the north return contains a ground-floor window to the left and a first-floor window to the right, with two ground-floor windows to the north. A gable to the right has two ground-floor windows and a first-floor window. A single-storey lean-to wing adjoins the outer right with a window, while a wing adjoins to its left with a door right of centre, a window to the right, and a large segmental-arched window to the left.

Windows include timber 2-light Y-traceried transomed glazing on the west elevation, some with one operational sash. A 2-light casement window with latticed glazing in the apex occupies the first floor of the canted bay. The east elevation mainly features 12-pane glazing in sash-and-case windows. Red sandstone coped skews are present; harled cylindrical stacks rise at the gablehead to the south and right gable to the east, at the wallhead to the north, and at the ridge of the canted bay and between the left and centre bays to the west. A harled rectangular stack rises at the left gable to the east. The roof is covered in grey slates. A cast-iron downpipe appears to the left on the west elevation.

The entrance gates consist of painted square gatepiers with ball-finials and 2-leaf cast-iron fleur-de-lis gates, with adjoining rubble walls.

A large brick outbuilding stands to the east.

The Ordnance Survey Map of 1847–48 marks a small building on the site, which is presumably the "small modern building of antique construction, erected as a porter's lodge" described in the New Statistical Account of 1839. This earlier building was possibly incorporated into the current structure. Chapel Rossan has served as the factor's house for Logan estate.
