Walled Garden, Rosetta House

The walled garden at Rosetta House dates to approximately 1807 and was constructed for Thomas Young. It is a rectangular walled garden with pedestrian and cart entrances, and includes a two-storey, single-bay garden building, now used as a store, located near the southeastern corner. The walls are of coursed whinstone rubble with flat, tooled edge stone copes, and buttressed retaining walls to the southwestern and southeastern angles. Sandstone ashlar is used for quoins around the doorway.

The north elevation, following the hillside contour, is a plain whinstone rubble wall with flat stone copes. A squared entrance is positioned on the left, featuring tooled sandstone quoins and droved margins, and a decorative wrought-iron gate with fleur-de-lis details on the top rails and dog bars, incorporating a ring handle and latch.

The east elevation also follows the hillside contour with a plain whinstone rubble wall and flat stone copes. Projecting from the east wall is a two-storey, single-bay garden store. The east elevation of the store features a cruciform window on the ground floor; the upper portion of the elevation is obscured by a holly tree. Returns to the left and right have central segmental-arched windows close to the eaves, flanked by small blind oculi. The western elevation, visible from within the garden, features a plain boarded timber door off-centre to the right, and a central segmental-arched window close to the eaves, flanked by small blind oculi. The roof is piended and covered in grey slate with lead flashings. Painted cast-iron rainwater goods are present, with a downpipe on the left side of the east elevation.

The south (pend) elevation mirrors the other walls, following the hillside with a plain whinstone rubble wall and flat stone copes. A segmental-arched pend is off-centre to the left, constructed with squared whinstone voussoirs. Adjacent to a stream, a plain buttress wall supports the southwestern angle and formerly carried a decorative pyramidal finial, now missing. A matching buttress wall with a similar finial is located at the southeastern angle, also alongside the stream.

The west elevation is a plain whinstone rubble wall with flat stone copes, following the hillside contour. A carved stone head of uncertain date and origin, potentially 17th or 18th century, is built into the wall for preservation.

Inside the garden, a covered well is located near the center and is paved with stone flags, with a later painted cast-iron pump. Various stone troughs are positioned within the garden boundary. Near the gardener's store, later millstones are located outside. The interior of the garden store is plain and currently in use as a store.
