Dower House

Dower House, formerly known as Grove Mill House, is a red brick house dating to the late 17th and early 18th centuries. It has plain tile hipped valley roofs. The west front, facing the river, was built in the early 18th century, and is two storeys high with five windows. It features moulded brick pilasters on each side, topped with a minimal entablature. There's a wooden moulded eaves cornice. The first floor has exposed box glazing bar sash windows set within gauged brick flat-headed surrounds. In the 19th century, two projecting bays were added to the ground floor, all under a lean-to slate roof. A central door provides access. A mid to later 18th-century corner block is attached at the south-west; it has two windows on each side, with the upper ones blocked on the west face, and is distinguished by gauged brick window heads and glazing bar sashes, as well as a brick dentil cornice. The north, or entrance, front features three renewed mullion and transom windows with glazing bars. A six-panel door is set beneath a pedimented hood supported by brackets. To the left, the end elevation of a separately roofed east range shows thin timber framing to the first floor, with a hipped gable above; the east face is rendered. A 19th-century range, with a hipped south gable and triple windows, is situated at the south-east angle.
