Description
Tower Hill Manor is a house with a 16th-century core located at the rear, featuring a late 17th-century refronting on the right and an early to mid-18th-century refronting on the left, all restored in the 20th century. The rear has a timber frame on Bargate stone footings, with red brick infill. The front right is constructed of galletted sandstone rubble with brick quoins and dressings, while the front left is made of red and blue brick. The house has plain tiled roofs, which are lower on the right and at the rear.
It is two storeys tall with attics, featuring five gabled leaded casement dormers—three on the left and two on the right. There is a plinth and a plat band over the ground floor, along with a moulded brick dentilled eaves cornice on the right-hand bay. The roof has an end ridge stack on the right and two corbelled rear ridge stacks on the left and right of centre on the left-hand refronting.
The left side has a five-bay range with glazing bar sash windows under gauged brick heads. There are four windows on the ground floor, with two first-floor casements and two double casement doors in the ground floor end bays on the right. A notable feature is the fine eight-panelled door at the right end of the left-hand refronting, which is framed by a projecting fluted Doric pilaster surround with metopes and triglyphs in the frieze.
At the rear, there is an old hipped roof wing set at right angles to the main structure, resting on a plinth with a plat band over the ground floor. A barn, now used as a store, is set back to the right and is connected to the house by a roofed corridor.
Inside, the framing is visible, and there are chalk fireplaces. A square tower at the rear contains a fine newell staircase built around a single long post that extends to the full height of the house, with some surviving panelling.
