Dating back to 1717, this imposing locally listed country house is set within approximately three 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.
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.
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.
To the rear of the house, additional accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, including a separate office or
studio and a home gym, both accesse
