The Dower House And Garden Wall

The Dower House is a house dating from the 19th century, incorporating elements of an earlier 18th-century building. It is constructed of brick with slate and pantile roofs, and features ashlar dressings, including a plinth, first-floor band, eaves band, a bracketed cornice, and a balustrade. There are five roof stacks and two gable stacks. The windows are primarily plain sash windows with margin lights.

The house is three storeys high, with a square plan and wings extending to the west and north. The main south front has a moulded and panelled ashlar doorcase with shoulders and shafts, large pierced brackets to the hood, and contains a panelled door with an overlight. Flanking the doorcase are single square bay windows with shafts, cornices, and balustrades, each containing three sashes. Above these are three sashes, and above again, three smaller sashes, all with moulded architraves. A two-storey, two-bay service wing projects to the east, featuring a cornice, parapet, and a coped gable. To the south, there is an off-centre door flanked to the left by two casements and to the right by a garage door, all with segmental heads. Above the door are two sashes. A single-bay brick outhouse with a pantile roof and a single gable stack stands to the right.

The north front has a 19th-century rear wing to the left with two glazing bar sashes with segmental heads on each floor. To the right is a 19th-century lean-to with a slate roof, cogged eaves, a glazing bar sash to the left, and a panelled doorcase with a hood to the right. A gabled north wing, refronted in the 18th century, features a first-floor and eaves band. The north gable has a pilastered round-headed opening with a moulded soffit and paterae, framing a French window with flanking lights resembling a Venetian window. Above the French window is a plain sash with a segmental head.

The east front includes a sash with segmental head and Gothick tracery, and above it, a sash with segmental head.

The interior features a living room with a moulded cornice and a coffered, painted ceiling. Other principal rooms have moulded friezes, cornices, and coffered ceilings, and moulded and reeded doorcases with friezes and cornices, all displaying similar patterns to those at Carlton Hall. There are four large 19th-century marble and stone fireplaces, one with flanking panelled fitted cupboards. A dog-leg staircase has a square landing, turned newels, stick balusters, a ramped and scrolled handrail. Several 18th-century panelled and plank doors are also present.

A brick boundary wall adjoins the property. To the south, it has a pierced ashlar balustrade and coping, three panelled ashlar piers with plinths, cornices, and pyramidal caps, and a pair of ornate cast iron gates. To the north, a higher wall has ashlar coping and two doors with segmental heads.
