Trowle House

Trowle House is a country house that has been converted into a house and clinic. It dates from the 17th century and underwent alterations in the early and late 19th century. The front is made of limestone ashlar, with dressed limestone on the sides, and features a hipped stone slate roof with stone stacks. The building is two stories high with an attic and has three windows across the front.

The central entrance has a six-panelled door set in a bolection-moulded architrave topped with a broken pediment, accessed by rebuilt stone steps. To the left of the door is a 2-light ovolo-mullioned casement window, and to the right is a late 19th-century canted bay window with ovolo-mullioned casements and a trefoil-pierced parapet bearing the initials BC, representing the Bayfield-Clark family. On the first floor to the left, there is another ovolo-mullioned casement, along with two shaped attic gables featuring 2-light mullioned casements and a small gabled attic dormer with a single ovolo-mullioned casement, all with coped verges and ball finials. The late 19th-century bay on the right has an oriel window on the first floor and a 2-light mullioned casement in the attic gable.

The left side of the house has a glazed door with a segmental-pointed arch supported by attached shafts to the left and a 2-light casement window to the right. The first floor features two 17th-century cross windows and two blocked cross windows, along with a moulded stone eaves cornice. A late 19th-century rear wing includes a square bay with a mullioned casement and a quatrefoiled parapet, as well as 3-light mullioned casements on the first floor and a hipped Welsh slate roof. The right side of the late 19th-century service area has 2-light and 3-light mullioned casements, a six-panelled door in a segmental-pointed architrave, and two attic dormers with shaped gables. An early 19th-century range at the back features 20 and 25-pane sash windows.

Inside, the house retains early 19th-century stairs with stick balusters and a wreathed moulded handrail, as well as six-panelled doors in moulded architraves and plaster ceiling cornices. The late 19th-century remodelling includes some joinery and elaborate details in the clinic's reception room, such as a plaster ceiling cornice with gothic detail and a segmental-pointed rere-arch to the external door on shafts. The Bayfield-Clark family, who were local industrialists, lived in the house during the late 19th century.
