Stowehill

Built in 1792, the Georgian country house of Stowehill has been altered and extended but retains many original features. The layout of the grounds with two walled gardens, a shelterbelt of trees giving privacy from the road, circular drive, formal gardens and small area of parkland has changed little since the mid-nineteenth century and may date back to the late-eighteenth century. It sits on a site referred to as ‘Folley’ on a 1783 map, suggesting an earlier ornamental parkland feature, and has a once rectangular ornamental pond parallel and south of the house that may have early origins as an ornamental canal connected to the folly.
