Description
The former dovecote, located approximately 30 metres to the south-west of Wickham Hall, dates from the 17th or 18th century and was altered in the 19th century to become a house. It features English bond brickwork and a gambrel roof covered with red plain tiles. The south roof slope has a gabled dormer, and the ground floor south elevation includes two square bays beneath a lean-to tiled roof, with small paned side-hung casement windows. There is a 19th-century tiled lean-to at the west end. The interior retains old doors and a firebeam, among other features.
