Trowse House

Trowse House is a house dated 1703, with extensions and internal remodelling undertaken in the mid-19th century. The house is constructed of Flemish bond red brick with rubbed brick dressings, and features hipped plain tile roofs and brick ridge and end stacks. The original plan was three units, with a rear stair turret extended to a double-depth plan in the mid-19th century. It is two storeys and an attic, with a pedimented five-window front. Features include chamfered raised brick quoins, a moulded brick string course, and a modillioned wood cornice to the eaves and pediment. A moulded brick segmental pediment with carved brackets flanks a mid-19th century bolection-panelled door with an overlight, set in a moulded wood architrave. The windows have rubbed brick flat arches over horned plate-glass sashes in moulded wood architraves, and a pedimented window with pilasters is located in the tympanum. Mid-19th century rear wings flank the early 18th-century gabled stair turret. A late-19th century one-storey, two-window range extension is located to the right, with a pedimented central doorway. The interior includes mid-19th century cornicing and fireplaces, and an early 18th-century open-well staircase to the rear, featuring barley-sugared and column-on-vase balusters set on a closed string.
