Description
Little Dower House is a house built in 1824, with an extension added around 1890 and restored in the late 20th century. It is constructed of red brick with painted ashlar dressings and features a hipped slate roof with two ridge chimney stacks and a rendered plinth. The house is two storeys high.
The main façade has three windows and a central doorway that contains a six-panel door set in a moulded wooden surround. There is a later gabled timber porch. On either side of the doorway are single nine-pane glazing bar sash windows, which have painted ashlar lintels and cills, along with original panel shutters. Above these, there are three six-pane glazing bar sash windows that also feature similar lintels and cills.
On the left side of the house, there is a door to the right, which is set under a timber lintel and has a 20th-century half-glazed door. To the left, there is a 20th-century three-light casement window, and above it is an original early 19th-century two-light casement window. The right side of the house has a canted bay window with glazing bar casement windows that were likely added around 1890.
The rear façade includes a gabled wing that was added or raised around 1890, featuring two two-light casements on each floor.
Inside, the house retains an original stick baluster staircase with a moulded handrail. The parlour has moulded plaster coving and an original moulded timber chimney-piece. Many original four-panel doors remain, set in moulded surrounds.
