Description
The Dower House is a house dating from around 1710, possibly with an earlier core, and features 19th and 20th-century extensions at the rear. It is constructed of red brick and has a hipped plain tiled roof that was restored in the 20th century. The building is two storeys tall and has end stacks as well as stacks to the rear right of the centre. The front elevation is symmetrical, with a plat band above the ground floor and a wooden modillion eaves cornice. There are five 12-pane glazing bar sash windows on the first floor and four windows on the ground floor, all under gauged brick heads. The first-floor windows have inserted wooden canopies. The central entrance door consists of six panels and is flanked by three-quarter lights beneath an oval gauged brick fanlight. To the left, there is a single-storey glazed corridor link with Doric columns leading to a brick and tile-hung garage block, which is of no special interest.
