Description
Trowle Manor Farmhouse is a mid-18th century building that stands two storeys high with an attic. The front is made of ashlar stone and sits on a projecting plinth. There is a dressed stone string at the first floor level, and a moulded and bracketed stone cornice. The parapet features moulded coping that sweeps up at the corners and once had vases, of which only the bases remain. The building has full-height angle pilasters and a hipped stone tile roof, with an ashlar and brick chimney on the east side.
There are two hipped dormers with two lights each, featuring casement windows. The other windows are glazing bar sashes, with five on the first floor and four on the ground floor. All windows have moulded architraves and small blocks beneath the cills and at the angles of the heads up to the string and cornice. The central entrance door has four panels and a rectangular fanlight with an interlaced arched pattern. It is surrounded by an architrave and an outer strip with console brackets, a pulvinated frieze, a small cornice, and a segmental pediment.
At the rear, there is a two-storey staircase extension made of ashlar, featuring round-headed windows. To the right is an older wing that is single storey with an attic, constructed from rubble. This wing has two dormers and two tall two-light stone mullion casements on the ground floor, with a three-centred arched stone doorway between them. The gable end of this wing has stone coping and a saddlestone.
