Description

Rosemount is a mid 19th century cottage with later additions and alterations, located at 28 Hillside Terrace in Selkirk. It is a single storey building with an attic and has a single storey wing to the northwest, which is part of a terrace. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked whinstone with droved dressings, while the side and rear elevations are harled. The building features long and short quoins and margins.

On the northeast elevation, there is a two-leaf boarded door located in a gabled bay at the center, topped by a plate glass letterbox fanlight and a corniced doorpiece. Above the door, there is a round-arched window in the gablehead and a quatrefoil-carved plaque. There is a window in each of the flanking bays, and the wing to the right is slightly set back with a window.

The southwest elevation is partially obscured and was not fully seen in 1995. It includes a lean-to single storey addition on the left and features two three-light half-piended dormers that break the eaves in the outer bays. The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case. The roof is slate, with a half-piended design on the wing, and there is a harled wallhead stack on the southeast elevation.

The boundary walls consist of a whinstone rubble wall with rubble coping and ashlar dressings at the opening.
