Statement of Interest

Further door into Rosehill from outer left of Rose

Court, to E, with which it was formerly adjoined as one

property until the 1900s. The design of Eskhill, to

north, may well have been influenced by that of

Rosehill, as they share a 3-storey, 5-bay form, and

recessed window panels, but the piend roof and wider

pile of Eskhill give visual evidence of its later date.
