The Dower House

The Dower House is a hotel dating to the 1860s. It is constructed of snecked stone rubble with a bitumen-coated slate roof and gable ends, accompanied by stone rubble projecting front, end, and axial stacks. The building follows a double-depth plan with two parallel ranges, each containing three rooms and a passage. The north-facing range has an entrance centrally positioned to the right, leading into a passage. A large principal room is located to the higher right, warmed by an end stack. The central room on the lower left is heated by an axial stack backing onto the passage, and the service room beyond to the left is heated by a front lateral stack.

The architecture is in a Gothic style. The north elevation has two storeys and a regular four-window front, with a projecting lateral stack to the left and a gable cross wing to the right. The entrance is located right of centre, featuring a 19th-century studded door within a 4-centred arched opening. There are two mullion and transom windows to the left and a large moulded stone mullion and transom window to the right. The first floor has two mullion and transom windows to the left, a mullion window with two segmental arched lights above the entrance, and a two-light mullion window to the right within the gable end. The south elevation also has two storeys and an attic, featuring mullion and transom windows. The interior retains complete carpentry and joinery details.
