Mid to later 18th century. 3-storey 5-bay house, set
back slightly from road, made L-plan by addition of
slightly later wing at rear, and with single storey
additions to W. Adjoined to E by 25 Inveresk Village
(Rose Court). Orange painted harl with painted ashlar
dressings; some chamfered reveals.
S ELEVATION: pilastered and corniced doorway at centre;
deep-set panelled door with decorative fanlight. 19th
century canted ashlar windows added to flanking bays,
piend roofed and with eaves course; regular fenestration
at 1st and 2nd floor with narrower windows at centre.
Curtain wall to outer left with garage door inserted.
Rose Court adjoined to E and advanced to S.
N ELEVATION: gabled wing projecting at right with
circular, conically roofed stairblock set in re-entrant
angle. Single storey piend-roofed outbuilding adjoined
to garage at W, abutting pavement, with 2 windows and
door.
12-pane glazing pattern in sash and case windows. Ashlar
coped skews; scrolled skewputts; end stacks. Decorative
wrought-iron eaves brackets.
RETAINING WALLS, GATE AND RAILINGS: harled retaining
wall by roadside with ashlar coping, simple railings and
gate. Rubble garden walls.
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.
