Description

Towersey Manor House is a house that likely dates from the early 19th century, with later 19th-century additions to the left and rear. It is constructed of uncoursed rubble stone with brick dressings and features a slate hipped roof with various brick stacks. The house has a double-depth plan and is two stories high, with a three-window range and an addition to the left that has a two-window range.

The central part of the original block has a glazed double door with a decorative fanlight, and a rendered porch supported by Doric pilasters and a cornice. To the left and right of the original block are unhorned tripartite sashes with glazing bars and cambered brick heads. All other openings feature 12-pane unhorned sashes with cambered brick heads. The eaves are bracketed, and the guttering is made of cast-iron with a cornice-moulded design.

Inside, the house has 19th-century decorative plaster ceilings in "Jacobean" and "Adam" styles in the ground floor rooms. There is also a staircase, likely from the early 20th century, leading to a double-height hall at the rear, which has a glazed saucer-dome skylight.
