Description

Bow House is an attached house that dates from the 18th and 19th centuries, with a possible earlier structure. It features stone walls that are rendered and a thatched roof with gable ends. There are two rendered brick stacks, one located left of center and another at the right gable, along with a projecting stack on the right end wall. The house is two storeys high and has four windows. The canted bays on the left and right include sashes with marginal glazing, while the remaining windows are wide sash windows, likely a re-fashioning of earlier stone mullion openings from the 18th century. To the left of the front door, there is a casement window with lozenge leads. The front door, positioned right of center, is flush-panelled with top lights above. It has a plain wooden door-case topped with a dentil cornice. The early 19th-century cast iron surround features a trellis pattern of lozenges, lancets, and saltires. At the rear, there is an outshut made of rubble with a Roman-tiled roof.
