Description
Rosebank Villa, located on Edinburgh Road in Linlithgow, was built in 1884. This two-storey, three-bay villa features a rectangular plan and is constructed from cream sandstone rubble, which is snecked and squared on the north elevation, accented with droved ashlar dressings. The building includes a base, a string course, a cill course at the first floor, a cornice, chamfered reveals, ogeed details to the lintels of the principal windows, stone mullions for paired windows, and a decorative bargeboard.
On the north (entrance) elevation, there is a gabled bay to the left. The central entrance features a fanlit panelled door with a canopy roof supported by timber brackets, which extends as a lean-to roof over an advanced squared and paired window to the left, showcasing moulded stop-chamfered angles. Above the entrance, a window at the first floor is set within a bargeboarded and finialled gable, which displays a date panel reading '1884' at the gablehead. To the right of the entrance, there are small paired windows above, and a paired window at the ground level to the outer right, topped by a semi-circular pedimented window that breaks the eaves, complete with an apron and finial at the first floor.
The east and west side elevations are gabled with plain bargeboards, and there is a window at the first floor on the east elevation. The south (rear) elevation consists of three bays, featuring a semi-circular dormer-headed window to the left and a single-storey projecting wing with a door on the left return.
The villa is fitted with sash and case windows that have two-pane lower sashes and multi-pane upper sashes. The roof is covered with grey slate and red ridge tiles, and it includes corniced and coped sandstone end stacks, along with a tall wallhead stack at the rear.
