Description
Dovehouse Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1700, likely with earlier origins, and has undergone rebuilding in the 19th and 20th centuries at the front. It is constructed of red brick and features a pantile roof. The building has an L-shaped layout, with a three-room south front and an entrance located to the left of the center, along with a single-room wing at the rear left. It stands two storeys high and has four windows on the first floor.
The front features a boarded door set beneath a cambered arch, with a three-light casement window to the left under a segmental arch, a pair of small casements beneath timber lintels, and a two-light casement to the right under a segmental arch. On the first floor, there is a two-light casement beneath a cambered arch, two small two-light casements in the center, and one to the right beneath a soldier arch. The eaves cornice is cogged brick, and the gables are brick-coped. There is an end stack to the right and an axial stack at the rear left.
Inside, the farmhouse features heavy chamfered beams and exposed joists throughout. One beam on the right has ogee stops with pointed steps, while the others have ogee stops. There is an inglenook fireplace in the front left with an arched bressumer. The interior has not been fully investigated, and the building may have originally been timber framed.
