Dove Sike

Dove Sike is a house dating from 1827, with the possibility of earlier fabric incorporated. It is constructed of squared coursed sandstone, with a slate roof. The house is two storeys high and has three bays. The front elevation features modern imitation sash windows with simulated glazing bars and plain stone surrounds; the left-hand ground-floor window has been altered to create a French window. The front door, of six raised and fielded panels with a fanlight, is set within a plain stone surround and is inscribed above with a plaque reading 'TT 1827'. End stacks are present, and a moulded cornice serves as a gutter. The left-hand (west) stack projects and incorporates a stone inscribed 'IB 1740' which has been re-set at first floor level. The rear windows are modern. The interior was not inspected and is reported to contain no significant features.
