Description

The Laundry at Rosehaugh House is a building designed in the style of William Flockhart, dating from around 1900, and reflects the English Arts and Crafts movement. It features a dry-dashed exterior with a bull-faced rubble basecourse, buttresses, and a chimney. The building is single storey with an attic and has a rectangular shape measuring five bays by three bays. It includes squat battered clasping buttresses and a roof that sweeps down over a rustic porch located on the long south side.

The roof is a tiled gambrel style with timber-studded gables. The main roof is intersected by a small transverse ridge that has timber-studded gables on the south side and a battered chimney on the north. There is a small fleche with a weathervane near the center of the roof, and a deep coved cornice supported by scrolled wrought iron brackets for the rainwater goods.

On the south and east fronts, there is a large segmented pedimented dormer, while the west and north fronts each feature two pedimented dormers. A battered chimney is positioned to the north of the center, and a small single-storey wing with a piend roof projects from the center of the north elevation.
