Description

Rosemount is a pair of Regency houses built around 1810, featuring two storeys and a cellar, with three window bays. The houses are constructed of painted English garden wall bond brick and have a gently pitched slate roof with a lead ridge. The eaves cornice is saw-toothed, and there are boxed lead gutters. Brick stacks are present, and the second-floor windows have shallow upper sashes with 12 panes, while the windows above the doors have 9 panes. The ground floors feature large 16-pane sash windows flanking the doorways, and Rosemount has louvred shutters on pintels.

Architectural details include gauged brick voussoirs, plain reveals, and stone sills. The cellars have shallow 8-pane sashes with wooden lintels. The fine Regency ironwork open porches have wooden canopies, stone treads for the steps, and iron handrails. The double doors have later 19th-century sidebar glazing in the upper portions. A round-arched tunnel passage is located at the extreme right of Rosemount.

The rear of Bryn Aderyn is mostly rubblework, with deep boarded eaves and sidebars to the stair/lobby window. There are sash windows that slide to the cellar, along with one modern, unsympathetic window. The rear wing of Rosemount features a slate-hung west elevation.

The entrance gates are flanked by brick piers with inswept walls. Inside, the houses have a good contemporary interior with torus moulded doorcases, panelled reveals and doors, cornices, and panelled soffits to the hallway arch. The staircase is set to the right off the lobby and retains an early cast iron range and crane, with some ceiling beams supported by later fluted cast iron columns. The vaulted wine cellars have flagstone flooring.
