Description
Dovecote Farmhouse is a house from the early 18th century that has been altered. It is built of red brick and features a hipped old tile roof with a chimney stack located only on the left side. There is one gabled dormer on the right side of the roof. The house has two storeys and an attic, with a first-floor band. The south front has five bays, but the outer and central windows are blocked. The remaining openings have double wing sashes with segmental arched heads. There is a 19th-century gabled open porch in the center. The east front has a central modern porch with a hipped tiled roof and a blocked window above, with sashes in the right-hand bay. The wing on the right has recently been raised to two storeys and has a tiled roof.
