The Dower House

The Dower House is a late 18th-century house, altered in the early 19th century. It is constructed of red brick with gauged brick dressings, and has a hipped slate roof with brick ridge stacks, together with an elaborate timber cornice. The house is two storeys plus attics, with five bays. A central moulded pilastered doorcase features a hood, panelled reveals, an ornately panelled door, and a plain overlight. This is flanked by pairs of tall, slender glazing bar sash windows, each set beneath a flat arch. Five more sashes are above, also set within similar arches. There are three hipped dormers in the roof, each containing a small-paned casement window. The west elevation features a tall, segmental-headed transomed staircase window. Inside, the east room retains an original Adam-style fireplace, while the west room has a mid-19th century marble fireplace, incorporating a segmental-headed niche on its east side.
