Description
Dover Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse that has been altered and extended. It is built from coursed squared sandstone with quoins and features a stone slate roof. The layout consists of a two-bay end-baffle-entry plan, with the entrance now located at the right-hand end, where there is also a gabled single-storey porch. An extension is present at the rear of the first bay. The building stands two storeys high and has a blocked former doorway at the left end, aligned with a gable chimney.
On the front, there are two slightly-recessed chamfered mullion windows on each floor, with three and four lights at the ground floor and two and three lights above. The left gable wall contains two 19th-century inserted windows on each floor, while the right gable features a small single-storey extension and a two-light mullioned window in the attic. The rear of the farmhouse has a lofted extension with 19th-century openings that overlap a two-light window on each floor, with the lower being mullioned and the upper a casement. There is also a small single-light window at mid-level, possibly serving as a stairlight. The roof has a 19th-century chimney on the ridge and another at the left gable. The interior has not been inspected.
