Cadw's description
Location
Set well back from the street and reached off the private drive to The Hermitage, which adjoins on the W side.
History
Part of an C18 house, comprising The Orchard, The Hermitage and Old Barracks Cottage, and known as The Hermitage. The main house was what is now The Orchard, with service rooms contained in what is now the Hermitage and Old Barracks Cottage. Old Barracks Cottage is the earliest component of the 3 sections that made up the house. The house is shown on the 1829 town plan. It was divided into separate dwellings in the second half of the C20. Old Barracks Cottage was probably a service wing, but its steep roof suggest it is the earliest part of the house.
Exterior
A 1½-storey house of rubble stone with slate roof. Openings have slate lintels. Replacement windows are 2-light with wooden mullions and transoms. In the lower storey a central doorway has been converted to a window. To its R is a conservatory, and a replacement window at the R end. To the L of centre is a glazed door flanked by windows. The upper storey has 3 raked half dormers.
Interior
Not inspected.
Reason for designation
Listed, notwithstanding modern alterations, for its special architectural interest as an integral part of a group of buildings making up a large early C19 house now known as The Orchard, The Hermitage and Old Barracks Cottage, and for its contribution to the historical integrity of Rosemary Lane.
