Description
The Dower House is a house built in 1829, with later alterations from the late 19th century and a 20th-century addition. It is constructed of ashlar stone and features a hipped slate roof with an ashlar ridge stack and a moulded eaves cornice. The house has two storeys and four bays, along with a 20th-century addition to the west.
On the south elevation, there is a glazing bar sash window to the west and an advanced bay window to the east, which includes double glazed doors at the front with narrow flanking sidelights, as well as a moulded cornice with a blocking course above. To the west, there are two full-height windows with 20th-century glazed doors, and above these are four glazing bar sash windows. The western addition also features glazing bar sashes.
The east elevation has an off-centre pilastered doorcase with a panelled door, flanked by narrow sidelights and topped with a moulded cornice supported by carved consoles. A rear window has a datestone above it inscribed with 'I E 1829'. Inside, the central room contains an early 19th-century marble fireplace with reeded jambs and carved roundels in the top corners, while the staircase is from the late 19th century.
