Description

The Dower House is a house with an early 18th-century facade, likely built upon an older structure. It is two storeys and has an attic. The south front is constructed of chequer brick with red brick detailing and quoins. It features a moulded first-floor string course, a moulded and bracketed cornice, and a hipped roof covered in old tiles. Large brick chimneys are located to the east and northwest. The south front has three 19th-century gabled dormers and five bays, with vertical sliding sash windows with glazing bars within architrave frames. The upper windows have sun-blind cases. A four-panelled central door is set within shallow panelled reveals, and is framed by fluted Doric pilasters supporting an entablature with a triglyph frieze. An adjoining section to the east also has an 18th-century refronting, with an altered timber frame at the rear. This section is brick-built, has a first-floor string course, a hipped roof with old tiles, and three upper sash windows with architrave frames. The ground floor has two-light casements with lattice leading.
