Description
The Octagon at Dene Farm is an early 18th-century grain store or dovecot, now used as a house. It is an octagonal building constructed of plum brick with red brick dressings, and has a plain tiled roof. The structure stands on a plinth with a plat band. The windows are arranged irregularly, featuring wooden casements and sashes, with glazed doors. Two wooden balconies are present on the first floor, facing north and east.
