Description

The Dower House is a house dating from the 17th century, which was remodelled and extended in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of red brick featuring diaper work on the east gable, and has steeply-pitched roofs made of corrugated clay tiles. The house is two storeys high with a double-pile plan.

The elevation facing the Green consists of three bays, with 2, 3, and 4-light windows that have ovolo-moulded mullions and transoms set in renewed chamfered and stuccoed reveals. The first-floor windows include glazing bars. There is a central doorway topped by a 4-centred stuccoed arch, flanked by a doorcase with Doric pilasters and a dentilled cornice. A brick eaves corbel-table runs along the top of the walls.

The east and west gables are stepped and feature moulded eaves corbels, with internal chimney stacks that have twin diagonally-set shafts. There is a low lean-to with a stepped parapet at the west gable. To the south, there is a 19th-century range that forms a double pile, with stepped east and west gables and ovolo-moulded mullion and transom windows. The two taller bays to the south have shaped gables and moulded brick drip moulds above the window heads. Internal gable stacks also have twin diagonally-set shafts, and there is an axial stack located off-centre to the west. The eaves corbel table continues along this section as well.
