The Dower House

The Dower House is a house dating from the 17th century, remodelled probably in 1754 and renovated in the late 20th century. It is constructed of red brick with a plain tile roof and features a brick lateral stack at the rear with lozenge section shafts. The house is aligned north-south and faces east, consisting of two storeys and a gable-lit attic. It has a dentilled eaves band and a central pedimented gable. There are three windows with 20th-century casements. To the left is a door with a cambered head and a brick dripstone. At the top, there is a central octagonal cupola with a lead-covered dome and keyed semi-circular arched openings, topped with a weathervane dated 1754. A 20th-century gabled extension is located to the right. At the rear, there is a stair turret attached to the chimney stack, featuring a crow-stepped gable, reminiscent of Bobbington Hall. The first floor at the rear has two-light chamfer mullioned windows, with the mullions and frames rendered to imitate ashlar. Inside, there is a newel staircase in the stair turret, cross walls made of square panelled timber framing, and chamfered and stopped ceiling beams.
