Description

Dower House is a Grade II* listed building from the Queen Anne period, constructed of red brick with a stone plinth, moulded band, and rusticated quoins. It stands two storeys tall and features nine sash windows, some of which have recessed panels painted to resemble glazing bars. A notable aspect of the house is its two doorways, which are distinguished by fluted Ionic pilasters and pediments that are broken in the center with raised scrolls. Each doorway is topped with rectangular fanlights containing small square panes. Originally, the house was said to have five bays, but it was divided into two dwellings, resulting in the second doorway being moved from the back to the front. Above each doorway, there are vertical stone bands adorned with an interesting key-pattern and rosettes. The hipped tiled roof has a modillion eaves cornice and features two dormers with similar detailing, fitted with 19th-century round-headed casements. Dower House, along with St Andrew's Church, Nos 29 and 30, and the Vicarage, forms a cohesive group.
