Dating back to 1717, this imposing locally listed country house is set within approximately two acres and enjoys an enviable position within the picturesque village of Downe. Trowmers was once owned by Sarah Wedgwood, a member of the renowned Wedgwood chinaware family and sister of Emma Wedgwood, wife of Charles Darwin, adding a rich layer of provenance to this remarkable home.Ground Floor - The ground floor offers a series of elegant and beautifully proportioned reception rooms, perfectly suited to both formal entertaining and relaxed family living. The magnificent sitting room, extending to over 33 ft, forms a striking centrepiece, with wooden flooring, panelled walls and handsome fireplaces at either end. A private study lies just off this space, while to the rear, double doors open into a sun-filled conservatory overlooking the gardens. A refined drawing room, complete with an ornate fireplace and French doors, also opens onto the grounds, while the dining room flows seamlessly into the kitchen, creating a sociable and open-plan arrangement. The kitchen itself is well-appointed with shaker-style cabinetry, a central island with breakfast bar and integrated appliances, complemented by a utility room and cellar providing further practical space.Upstairs - Two staircases rise to the first floor, where seven well-presented double bedrooms are arranged. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a bay window, a dressing room with extensive built-in wardrobes and a well-appointed en suite bathroom. The second bedroom enjoys Jack and Jill access to this en suite, while another bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room. A family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation. The main staircase continues to a substantial attic space, offering excellent storage and clear potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.Externally - To the rear of the house, additional accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, including a separate office or studio and a home gym, both accessed via the garden and providing valuable versatility for modern living.Approached via an in-and-out driveway with wrought-iron gates, the property offers ample parking and turning space, as well as access to a detached garage.The gardens are a particular highlight, enjoying a favourable south-easterly aspect and extending to over 250 ft. Beautifully maintained, they comprise expansive lawns interspersed with mature trees, alongside well-stocked borders rich with seasonal colour. Paved terraces provide ideal spaces for al fresco dining and entertaining, while a substantial timber-framed greenhouse and a stable block with associated storage enhance the lifestyle offering.
