Description
Towler Hill Farmhouse is a mid-18th century farmhouse that has been converted into two dwellings, with a left section dating from the late 18th to early 19th century that was originally a byre. The building is constructed of squared rubble and features a sandstone-flagged roof with stone chimney stacks.
The front of the farmhouse is continuous and two stories high, consisting of a three-bay house on the right and a two-bay section on the left. The ends and the joint between the sections have flush quoins. The openings are topped with stone, flat-arched lintels that have segmental tops, although the openings in the left section were altered in the late 20th century and now feature replaced two-pane sashes.
The right side of the house has a central replaced glazed door with an overlight, paired sashes in a late 20th-century opening to the left, a single sash to the right, and three windows above. The left section has a replaced partly-glazed door to the right, with single and paired sashes to the left and two windows above. The continuous roof has coped gables with shaped kneelers at the junction, and there are right end, central, and left ridge stacks, all featuring top bands and water tables. The rear of the building has scattered, replaced two-pane sashes.
Inside, the right ground-floor room of the original farmhouse includes a large stone fireplace with a projecting lintel supported by corbelled jambs.
