Description

The Dower House is an early 18th-century building, originally two cottages, now combined into a single house. It was altered in the late 19th or early 20th century. The house is constructed of rubble stone, partially covered with lime wash, and has a stone slate roof. It features a stone end stack on the right and a large stone ridge stack to the rear wing on the left. The building is arranged in an "L" shape, with a gabled end prominent on the front. It has two storeys and four windows. The left windows are paired leaded wooden casements, while the right windows are leaded, chamfered stone mullions. On the ground floor, from left to right, there is a late 19th or early 20th century canted bay, a wooden mullion and transom window, likely in the position of a former doorway, a three-light stone mullion window, a chamfered stone doorway with a door of four fielded panels, and a semi-circular stone hood extending flat on stone brackets. A small, single-storey wing on the right is not of particular architectural interest.
