Description
Tretower House is a Georgian-style two-and-a-half storey house built in an L-plan, featuring an entrance range and a rear wing. The house has pebble-dashed walls painted pink and a hipped slate roof with projecting swept eaves and a plastered soffit. The five-bay front displays 12-pane hornless sash windows with stone sills. The entrance features a half-lit door with panelling below and raised fields, set within a 20th-century glazed porch. There are hipped roof dormers in the centre and to the right, which contain 2-light small-pane casements. Tall chimneys are located to the left of centre and to the right. To the right, there is an early 20th-century two-storey lean-to with 2-light casements.
The garden front of the rear wing to the south has two bays, hipped roof dormers, and first-floor sash windows similar to those on the front, along with tall stacks on both sides. The lower storey features late 19th-century French doors with margin glazing, and to the left end, there is a 20th-century one-storey lean-to with a raised and shaped verge. The rear wall of the rear wing has a single 9-pane sash window in the upper storey to the left. The two-storey stair projection has two windows with stepped 12-pane sashes, and a 9-pane upper window to the right. To the left of the stair projection, there is a later wing added in the early 20th century.
Inside, the main room to the front right has cross beams with stepped stops, which were re-used from an earlier house. Between the first floor and the attic, there is a fine 18th-century dog-leg stair featuring square newels, a moulded string, alternating square and turned balusters, and a moulded handrail. The treads have roll-moulded ends, and the windows are fitted with panelled shutters, while the doors are also panelled.
