Sparrow Farmhouse And Dovecote Cottage Attached

Sparrow Farmhouse and Dovecote Cottage are attached buildings dating from the early to later 18th century. They are constructed of rubble stone with stone-tiled roofs. The original farmhouse is one-and-a-half storeys high and features an ashlar corner stack at the south end. The main east front has two dormer gables and casement windows beneath timber lintels, with a three-light window on the right side, a two-light window on the left side, and a door to the left. The south end wall includes flush cyma-moulded stone-mullion windows, with a single-light window in the attic, a two-light window on the first floor, and a three-light window on the ground floor. To the left, there is a former barn that was converted in the 20th century, which has a dormer gable on the south side and cyma-moulded stone-mullion windows. The west end wall displays a plaque marked TMT, and there is a 20th-century stair tower at the rear of the original range.

Attached to the north end of the original range is a later 18th-century two-storey and attic range, featuring a coped north gable and an end wall stack. The east front has a three-light cyma-moulded mullion window, while the north end has a single-light attic window and a renewed two-light mullion window. The west side has a flush cyma-moulded doorcase, two two-light cyma-moulded windows on the first floor, and a hipped dormer. There is a short 20th-century link at the northwest corner leading to Dovecote Cottage, which is dated 1714. This building is also made of rubble stone with a Bridgewater tile roof and an ashlar stack at the west end. It is one storey and an attic, featuring a chamfered doorcase with the datestone TMT 1714 above, and two two-light flush stopped cyma-moulded windows on the south front. The east end wall has a two-light recessed cyma-moulded window in the attic and dove-openings above, while the west end wall has a similar two-light attic window, and the north wall has a two-light flush stopped cyma-moulded window.
