SD83SW MANCHESTER ROAD, Rose Hill 906-1/3/241 (East side) 29/09/77 No.254 The Castle
GV II
House. Dated 1908 on rainwater head. By Edgar Wood; altered and slightly enlarged. Snecked sandstone rubble, flat concrete roof with asphalt cladding (concealed by parapet). Eclectic style combining Modernist form with Arts-and-Crafts and Vernacular Revival detailing. PLAN: square plan with principal facades to west, south and east, plus small courtyard and outbuilding attached to north side and north-east corner respectively. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and 3 windows in an asymmetric composition, the walls carried up without interruption to form a parapet with flat stone coping (carried round), the doorway to the left and a full-height canted bay window to the right. The doorway, up 3 segmental steps, has a deeply splayed reveal protected by a segmental cornice with free "dentilled" enrichment to the rim, and a recessed studded board door; above the cornice is a shallow vertical slot (or sunk panel) carried up to the parapet, containing a very small 2-light mullioned window immediately over the cornice, a tall window at 1st floor, and an upstand in the parapet with a small 2-light opening which echoes the mullioned window below and has a lintel with nailhead enrichment. In the centre is a cross-window at ground floor and a 3-light mullioned window above; and to the right the canted bay which has a mullion-and-transom window at ground floor, a mullioned window above, and a raised parapet with an opening like that to the left. All these windows have flush flat-faced surrounds and leaded glazing, and some have cast-iron casement openings. Chimney behind parapet. The 2-window south facade has a full-height canted bay to the right, like that at the front but larger, a cross-window to the left and a 1-light window above this, and a rainwater head with raised lettering "1908". The east facade (which has added render at 1st floor) has a single-storey canted bay window to the left with an enriched upstand to the parapet, 3-light mullioned windows on each floor to the right, and a service wing attached to the rear corner (formerly single-storey but now raised to 2 storeys). The rear has (inter alia) a 2-stage stair-window, various 2-light mullioned windows, and an attached courtyard wall with a round-headed doorway.
INTERIOR: details altered, but simple dog-legged staircase and some original fittings survive. Forms group with front garden wall (qv).
