Description
Doxey House is a house that has been converted into sheltered housing for older people. It was built around 1840 and incorporates part of a likely 17th-century farmhouse at the rear. The building is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and has tile roofs with brick end stacks. It features two parallel ranges in a Georgian style and is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-window arrangement. The wide eaves and verges enhance its appearance.
The entrance is located in a brick porch that has a cornice and scrolled cresting. The entrance itself features a moulded surround and a six-panel door, flanked by round-headed lights. The windows have sills and wedge lintels above 12-pane sash windows, although the right end of the first floor has a top-hung casement. The right side of the house includes 2/4-pane and 4/8-pane sashes. The rear of the building has a two-window range with a central entrance that has a 20th-century porch, and the windows are topped with brick flat arches over 16-pane sashes. Inside, the rear range features stop-chamfered beams and joists.
