Dunham House

Dunham House is a former prebendal house that has been converted into offices. It dates back to the early 17th century and was remodeled and refenestrated for Sherbrooke Lowe around 1780. A rear range, service wing, and front porch were added for George Barrow around 1805, with a mid-20th century office addition to the southwest. The building is constructed of brick, which is stuccoed, with stone dressings and features hipped and gabled slate roofs. It has four ridge stacks, two gable stacks, and two side wall stacks.

The symmetrical front of the house is two storeys high with seven windows, featuring a plinth, a moulded parapet, and coped gables. There are seven glazing bar sash windows. The central square porch has a segment-headed opening, a string course, and a partly balustraded parapet, which covers a six-panelled door with a moulded surround. On either side of the porch are three glazing bar sashes, with the two on the far right being larger.

The irregular garden front, which is early 19th century, also has a plinth, string course, and parapet. It is two storeys high with twelve windows, including two two-storey semicircular bow windows on the left, the larger of which has three sashes on each floor. In the centre, there is a two-window range with a curved end and sashes of different sizes, along with two French windows below. To the right, there is a slightly projecting wing with three windows, the central one featuring a cast iron balcony. Below this wing are two plain sashes and a flat-roofed 20th-century addition.

Inside, the entrance hall has a modillion cornice and an elliptical arched opening leading to the stairwell. The cantilevered dogleg stair and landing, dating from around 1805, features a cut string and foliated cast iron and wrought iron stick balusters, along with a scrolled and ramped handrail. The principal rooms facing the garden have cornices decorated with palmettes and vine trails. The late 17th-century principal rafter roof is made from re-used timber and includes double purlins and collars. Dunham House is one of the nine remaining prebendal houses that were formerly associated with Southwell Minster.
