Rose Hill, Northenden, Art Nouveau architectural structure in Northenden, Manchester, England
The red brick and ashlar villa features a main entrance with Tuscan columns, mullion windows, and a Welsh slate roof spanning two storeys.
Built in the mid-19th century, Rose Hill served as the residence of Sir Edward Watkin, a prominent figure in British railway development.
The Grade II* listed building contains Art Nouveau stained glass windows depicting rose trees and birds, along with elaborate wooden staircases and decorative friezes.
The building, located on Longley Lane, underwent conversion into residential flats in 2003, with surrounding grounds developed for private housing.
In 1979, workers discovered a significant painting titled 'The Icebergs' by Frederick Edwin Church within the villa, forgotten since its purchase in the 1860s.
