The Dower House

The Dower House is a detached house located in Todenham Village, dated and initialled WBS/1717 on a datestone in the gable of its two-storey porch. The building is constructed of ashlar stone with a concrete tile roof and ashlar stacks. It has a rectangular plan featuring a central projecting porch and stands two storeys high with a garret.

On the right side of the two-storey porch is a 20th-century three-light roof dormer. The house has four windows, which include double-chamfered, three and four-light stone-mullioned casements, one of which has a king mullion. All windows have stopped hoods, with some featuring leaded panes. There are also taller stone-mullioned casements that are 20th-century replacements, as well as two and three-light 19th-century casements with segmental heads located far right.

The porch features a plank door with cover strips and decorative hinges, set in a plain flat-chamfered surround. Above the door is a three-light stone-mullioned casement with a stopped hood, and there is a hood over the datestone above. The house has twin gable end stacks with moulded caps, flat gable-end coping, and roll moulded gable coping on the gable of the two-storey porch, complete with moulded kneelers at the eaves. The interior has not been inspected.
