Description

Trowden is a house dating from around 1800, constructed from volcanic rubble trap with a hipped slate roof and a central axial brick stack. The building has a square plan and features a side porch, a later extension at the rear, and a garage on the left-hand side. It stands two storeys tall with a symmetrical front that includes four windows on the ground floor and two above. All windows have pointed heads and are C20 timber 2-light casements, with each light containing six panes and additional apex panes. The first-floor casements may be from the 19th century and consist of nine panes per light. There are three arched recesses on the sides, and the rear has one and two-light windows above the lean-to extension. The side door, which leads to the porch that has been renewed, features a fanlight.
