Description
Rosetta is a late 18th century Georgian building featuring three storeys and a basement, with a three-window rendered front that has undergone later alterations. The building has a slate roof and rubble end chimney stacks. The windows are recessed sash windows, although most of the glazing bars have been removed, and there is a splayed bay window on the left side. The central entrance is topped with a bracketed hood and leads to a four-pane boarded door, which is accessed by parallel rubble steps.
On the rendered right end wall, there are sash and casement windows flanking a driveway that is entered between rubble gate piers. The rear of the building is made of rubble and includes a small pane window with a segmental head. A rubble boundary wall extends south towards Dragon Park.
Inside, it is reported that there are blocked windows on the left end, suggesting that this structure predates Moir House and The Limes.
Local climate
Rosetta sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,250 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 95% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 16 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 84% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
