The Dower House

The Dower House is a house from the late 17th century, built from rough rendered rubble stone with a stone tiled roof, featuring coped gables and end wall stacks. It is two-and-a-half storeys tall and has an L-shaped plan. On the left side, there is a row of four dormer gables with moulded coping, ball finials, and ovolo-moulded two-light stone-mullion windows that have hoodmoulds. The main floors have a five-window range, with ovolo-moulded mullion and transom windows on the first floor and ground floor to the right (one ground floor window has been renewed). The left side of the ground floor features two bead-moulded sash windows. The entrance has a fine central bolection moulded doorcase with a shell hood supported by scroll brackets, displaying the Scrope arms, and a six-panel door. The rear range is one storey with an attic, and on the south side, there is a dormer gable with a 12-pane sash window above two ovolo-moulded two-light windows with hoodmoulds. Inside, there is a rear staircase with a closed string, twisted balusters, and acorn finials on the newels. The front left room includes a late 18th-century plaster frieze with a honeysuckle motif and original colouring, and an Adam-style fireplace that may be a replica.
