Cul-de-sac of maisonettes off Somerset Road/Cronks Hill Road, built in the c.1950s/60s on part of the grounds of a late Victorian house named "The Old Rosery" (since demolished). Adjacent to it is Greenmead Cottage (see
TQ2648 : Greenmead Cottage), so perhaps the name of the close was a deliberate combination of part of each name.
