Description
Trowle Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a detached house. It dates from the early 17th century and was refenestrated in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of random rubble stone and features a stone slate roof with coped verges and gable end stone stacks. It is designed in an L-plan and is two storeys high with an attic, featuring four windows.
The central entrance has a 19th-century gabled porch with a well-crafted ledged and studded inner door set in a chamfered surround. On either side of the porch are pairs of 12-pane sash windows with relieving arches above. The first floor has pairs of sash windows flanking a central two-light recessed cyma-mullioned casement with a hoodmould. The attic includes two full gables, each with two-light mullioned casements and coped verges that have saddlestones.
To the right of the main façade, there is a 19th-century ashlar bay window with a plat band and a casement. The right return features a three-light ground floor mullioned casement, a two-light window on the first floor, and a single cyma-moulded casement in the attic. The left return has a French window and two-light casements, along with a blind window in the 19th-century bay.
At the rear, there is a wing that includes a three-light chamfered mullioned casement with a hoodmould and leaded lights, and an attic gable facing east. The northwest side has cyma-mullioned casements. A 20th-century single-storey extension has been added to the rear left.
Inside, the farmhouse features a fine stone fireplace in the room to the right of the entrance, which has a Tudor-arched moulded surround with a cornice and a heraldic shield. The room to the left of the entrance has a beam with three faceted chamfers. The kitchen at the rear includes a chamfered stone open fireplace with an elliptical head. On the first floor, there is a Tudor-arched fireplace in the room to the right of the entrance, along with some 17th-century chamfered door surrounds with bar stops.
