Stowe Hill

House, built in the 1750s for Elizabeth Aston. It is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings, and has a hipped tile roof with panelled brick stacks. The building is of early Georgian style, with a double-depth plan and an L-shaped service wing.

The north-east front, which serves as the entrance front, is two storeys high with a five-window range. It features quoins and a top frieze with entablature blocks to the angles. The entrance is framed by a Tuscan distyle-in-antis porch, complete with a frieze and cornice. Above the door is an overlight, and on either side are side lights to a six-fielded-panel door. A 19th-century canted bay window is located to the left of the entrance, and there are two windows to the right, each with rubbed brick flat arches and 6/9-pane sashes. The first-floor windows have rubbed brick flat arches over 9-pane sashes. An 18th-century rainwater head and downspout are also present. A single-storey service wing extends to the right, containing three windows with 6/9-pane sashes, and one window to the return of the wing, alongside a garage door and an attached square outhouse. The returns have similar windows and hipped dormers; the dormer to the left has an early 19th-century bow-fronted conservatory with a hipped roof and small-paned glazing.

The garden front boasts a central, full-height bow with three windows on each floor. A stone-coped plinth sits below the tall windows, and a first-floor sill band runs along with a top cornice. A stone-coped brick parapet with urns to the angles and a balustrade to the bow is also present, with four urns. The windows have eared architraves; those on the ground floor of the bow have 8-pane sashes, while the flanking windows feature 6/9-pane sashes. The first-floor windows have 12-pane sashes.

The interior contains an open-well staircase with twisted balusters and a moulded handrail. Rooms are adorned with cornices, including one with a modillioned cornice and an Adam-style fireplace featuring coloured marbles, and another with an Adam-style pine fireplace.

Although set apart from other buildings of interest in the area, the house forms an important element within the landscape, particularly noticeable from the Cathedral and Stowe Pool.
