Trowell Hall And Adjoining Gamekeepers Cottage And Garden Wall

A country house dating to around 1880, possibly designed by T. C. Hine, built in a Jacobean Revival style. The house is constructed of brick with slate roofs, featuring ashlar dressings. A chamfered plinth, two moulded string courses, coped and moulded parapets, and shaped gables are visible. There are four octagonal, one cruciform, and one external side wall stack. The design is of a double-depth T-plan, with two storeys and five unequal bays. Windows are cross and mullioned casements.

The north front has a left-hand block with a projecting central bay containing a blocked, keystoned doorcase, fanlight, cornice and strapwork. An external stack is to the left, and a canted oriel window with pierced balustrade to the right. Above, a central casement is present. To the right is a set-back service wing with three casements, and above, two cross-eaves gabled dormers. A square, extruded corner tower with a Tudor arched door, north-facing casement, and return angle casement is further to the right. Above the door, a casement is present; above that, a two-stage octagonal tower with strapwork ornament, a leaded ogee dome and a wind vane. A gabled cross wing is situated to the right again, with a casement on each floor and two casements in the return angle. Single-story gabled and lean-to outbuildings surround a paved yard to the right again, featuring a single casement and basket arched door facing north. The double-gabled east end incorporates a casement and, to the right, a canted bay window with a strapwork parapet; above this are two casements.

The garden front features a gabled cross wing to the left with a casement. To its right is a set-back bay with a casement, and above it, a gabled cross-eaves dormer. An extruded corner, gabled and providing a casement on each floor and a Tudor arched doorway in the return angle, is situated to the right again. The main block has two canted bay windows with strapwork parapets, above which is a central oriel window flanked by single casements, and above that, three small dormers – the central one possessing an octagonal stack.

An adjoining courtyard contains a wash house, storage rooms, and a pyramid-roofed game larder. The adjoining garden wall, to the west, is constructed of coursed rubble with flat slab coping, and possesses a projecting ramped section.

Inside, the Jacobean style is evident in the dogleg staircase, accessed via a square stairwell with a dentillated cornice and a pendant lamp. The entrance hall has panelling and keystoned archways. Principal rooms feature deep moulded cornices, wall panels, and Jacobean style plaster or papier mache ceilings. Fireplaces are of both Classical marble and ashlar Tudor style. A bathroom contains a late 19th-century roll-top bath with a shower enclosure and fittings, all complete and in use.
