Cadw's description
Location
Located in the centre of a row of 3 houses fronting the road.
History
Probably mid-C19. Oroville House was probably a Public House known as the Bowling Green.
Exterior
Oroville House, Rosewood Cottage and Salop House form a group.
A terrace of 3 Picturesque cottages, the central one slightly set back. Each cottage is symmetrical, 2-storey, 3-window, with an advanced central bay. The cottages are roughcast under slate roofs with central brick ridge stacks; the upper storey on projecting brackets to suggest timber framing. The windows are mainly late C20 plain-glazed wooden casements.
Rosewood Cottage is slightly set back. To centre, an advanced full-height gabled bay, the entrance containing a panelled door with round-arched light; single narrow lights to L- and R-returns.
Interior
Interior not seen.
Reason for designation
Listed, notwithstanding alterations to openings, as an unusual group of mid-C19 Picturesque cottages retaining their character.
