Manor Farmhouse With Attached Stable Range And Dovecote

Manor Farmhouse with attached stable range and dovecote is an early 19th-century complex built for the Wilton Estate. The farmhouse is constructed of English bond brick and has a hipped tiled roof with brick stacks, while the attached stables and dovecote have a Welsh slate roof. The building is arranged in an L-shape. The north front of the farmhouse is two storeys high and features three windows. A central brick porch has a moulded stone cornice and corner pilasters, with double doors and fixed windows on either side. The ground floor has a 12-pane sash window with a wedge lintel, and the first floor has three 9-pane sashes, also with wedge lintels. A moulded wooden eaves cornice is present on the farmhouse. A 12-pane sash window is present to the left return on the ground floor. The rear elevation features segmental-headed sashes and a tripartite sash window on the ground floor, with casements and small sashes on the first floor.

The attached two-storey range to the right return is constructed of flint and brick banding. It incorporates a slate verandah supported by wooden posts, planked doors, and 2-light casements. The right part of this range was formerly stables, featuring shuttered windows and planked doors, as well as a gabled loft door. A square, two-storey dovecote is attached to the west end of the range, with small windows, a planked door, a 4-brick plat band to the first floor, stepped brick eaves courses, and a low-pitched pyramidal roof with a square pyramidal louvre at the apex. The complex is a typical example of a farm group within the Wilton Estate in this valley.
