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. The windows are mainly late C20 plain-glazed wooden casements.
Salop House has a single-storey porch bay to centre, with hipped roof supported on bracketed eaves, these continuing from outer bays. The porch contains a panelled door under a 4-pane overlight, in a wooden doorcase with plain pilasters and moulded cornice supported on brackets. Very small lights to sides of porch. The windows to outer bays are late C20 2-light wooden casements with horizontal glazing bars; there was formerly a blind central window with dripmould. No openings to N gable end; catslide to rear.
Interior
Interior not seen.
Reason for designation
Listed, notwithstanding alterations to openings, as an unusual group of mid-C19 Picturesque cottages retaining their character.
