The Dower House

The Dower House is a late 16th-century house located in Goodnestone, constructed of red brick using English and Header bonds, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building features two storeys and an attic above a basement, with a plinth and string course. Its roof has kneelered gables, with two projecting three-storey gables on the left and centre right, and a central hipped dormer. There are four moulded stacks positioned to the centre left. The house has two-light mullioned windows with labels in the gable heads, along with four-light and three-light mullioned windows on the first floor, and five-light mullioned and transomed windows in the central recessed area on each floor. To the right, there is one three-light leaded wooden casement on each floor and a basement opening. The porch features a rib and stud door to the centre right, with a four-centred arched surround. The porch doorway is also four-centred with a label and Arms above. This house was built as the Dower House to Knowlton Court.
