The Dower House

The Dower House is a dower house that has been converted into a residence. It dates from around 1756 and has undergone alterations and additions in the late 19th century and around 1915. The building is constructed of red brick and features a hipped plain tile roof. It is roughly square in shape with two storeys and an attic. The house has a chamfered plinth, a toothed brick eaves cornice, and three late 19th-century gabled brick eaves dormers, each with segmental-headed four-pane sash windows. There are off-centre brick ridge stacks on both the left and right sides, and the gable ends are parapeted with an external brick end stack at the rear.

The façade consists of five bays with glazing bar sashes that have exposed moulded boxes, stone cills, and stone lintels featuring triple keystones. A central pair of early 19th-century half-glazed doors with margin lights and beaded flush lower panels leads into the house. These doors are framed by a reeded architrave with square corner paterae and topped with an early 19th-century flat hood that has a four-panelled soffit, a moulded cornice, and lead covering; this hood has been raised and incorporated into a likely 20th-century rustic porch.

To the right, there is a late 19th-century one-bay gabled addition with a toothed brick verge, a central brick ridge stack, and two brick stacks at the rear. The left-hand return front has four bays with glazing bar sashes, some of which are painted imitations. There is a central early 20th-century brick addition with a bay on the ground floor, and a three-storey addition set back to the left. The rear of the house features three gables.

Inside, there is an 18th-century staircase with three flights, landings, an open string with cut brackets, two turned balusters per tread, a turned bottom newel post, a moulded ramped handrail, and a dado rail. A depressed round archway leads from the entrance hall to the rear of the house and features a cartouche instead of a keystone. The left-hand ground-floor room has an 18th-century fireplace with tiled reveals, a lugged architrave, a pulvinated frieze, and a moulded cornice, along with panelled shutters.
