3, Kirk Hill

No. 3 Kirk Hill is a dovecote that has been converted into a house. It dates from the early 18th century and was converted in the 19th century. The building is constructed of mud with roughcast and has brick dressings. It features a steeply pitched pantile roof, a rendered plinth, and brick coped gables with brick kneelers. There are two gable stacks. The windows are Yorkshire sashes with glazing bars. The street front has a small central barred opening flanked by single sliding sashes, with three smaller sashes above. The rear elevation has a central plank door flanked on the left by a 20th-century casement window, and above that, there is another 20th-century casement window to the right. The gable walls are blank. Inside, a small section of the original mud wall is exposed in the kitchen, and the roof retains its original timbers along with former flight boxes built into the brick gables.
