Description

The Old Dower House is a detached house dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of stucco with a hipped Welsh slate roof and brick stacks. The main front has three windows, with a central door featuring four round-arched panels and a semi-circular fanlight set within panelled surrounds, flanked by Ionic pilasters from a removed portico. The centre bay projects slightly, and the ground floor has 12-pane sashes with margin panes. The first floor mirrors this with three 12-pane margin-pane sashes. A bay window with French windows is present on the left return, alongside a 19th-century conservatory. The right return features a 3-light leaded casement, a 30-pane sash, and a planked door leading to the service areas. A two-storey rear wing on the south side is original and contains 20-pane and 16-pane sashes. A later 19th-century wing on the north side has 12-pane sashes. The interior retains original features, including an open stair hall with stick balusters and a continuous wreathed handrail. Various doors, including 8-panelled ground floor doors likely moved from Bradley House, are present. The drawing room has a grey marble fireplace, and the dining room features a late 19th-century Elizabethan-style fireplace and plaster frieze.
