Description

Rowanlea House is an earlier 19th century house, originally a 2-storey, 3-bay design, with a 2-storey, 2-bay wing added to the north later in the 19th century, forming an L-plan. The house is constructed of droved ashlar. The original house features a central door, set behind a glazed porch, and plate glass sash windows. A narrow eaves band runs around the building; the roof slopes feature straight skews, and the cornice has been removed from the right-hand apex stack. The roof is slate. The north wing has a door and two large, divided windows (bipartites) facing east. The garden is enclosed by a rubble wall, with two square gatepiers, originally of greater height, now topped with pyramidal caps. Rowanlea House forms a group of buildings with architectural and historic interest alongside Glenely and Norwich.
