Description
Detached house, dating from the late 18th century with remodelling around 1830. The house is constructed of ashlar and random rubble limestone, featuring ashlar chimneys and a Welsh slate roof. It is a two-storey building with an asymmetrical front elevation. To the left is a two-storey segmental bow with two glazed doors on the ground floor, and two 12-pane sashes above. A roughly central doorway, originally with an attached pedimented Tuscan doorcase, now has a new porch; it contains an 8-panel moulded door. There are two further 12-pane sashes on each floor to the right. All windows have louvred external shutters. A plain upper floor level band and a modillion cornice with a blocking course extends over the bow. The roof is hipped. A screen wall to the left has one window with an "oriental" head, leading to a continuation of the screen with a round arched doorway and plain coping swept up over.
The south-east end has a stepped elevation. The left part features a two-storey canted bay window with 12-pane sashes, continuing the plain band and cornice from the front. A further upper floor 12-pane sash is set back to the right, above a round arched ground floor doorway with a lunette and a plank-and-cover strip door. A rustic archway links terrace walls with the back of the house.
At the rear, one 2-light Gothic window is visible. The low-pitched gable end of a return wing to the right has mullioned casements and doorways leading to the upper floor and attic. The north-west end exhibits some possibly earlier masonry with 2- and 3-light mullioned casements. A tall eaves-mounted chimney has a moulded cap.
The interior was largely refitted around 1830, but some earlier features remain, including a late 18th-century fireplace in the hall. A straight staircase has stick balusters and a wreathed handrail. An anthemion frieze is in a room to the right of the hall, likely dating to the late 18th century. A small flying staircase is at the end of the upper floor corridors. Vaulted cellar passages at the north-west end appear connected to a former mill that was attached at this end.
The building's name originates from the Seville and Lowe families, successive owners in the 19th century. Terrace walls and a gazebo are to the north; gates, gate piers, and boundary railings are to the south-east.
