Building record 5608 - Rose House/Heath Lodge, Bluebell Lane, Hinderton

Please read our .

Summary

Rose House is a substantial dwelling of Ashlar coursed sandstone blocks with an unusual jettied corner tower in the Victorian "Arthurian" romantic tradition, not dissimilar to buildings at Port Sunlight. It seems likely that the building was originally associated with the Hinderton Hall estate, in which case the architect may be Alfred Waterhouse, possible built around 1855. Heath Lodge appears to be a later addition - datestone above front door says 1899.
