Description
The Dower House is a former farmhouse, later used as a dower house, and now a detached house. It dates primarily to the 17th century, with additions and alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The house is constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone, with a stone slate roof and ashlar stacks. The main rectangular section of the house has a 19th-century extension running to the rear left, along with a 20th-century extension to the left and a 20th-century single-story extension to the rear right, which are not considered to be of particular architectural interest. The main section of the house is two stories and has an attic lit by 2-light double-chamfered ovolo-mullioned casement windows. The front facade has four windows, with a mix of 3- and 4-light double-chamfered ovolo-mullioned windows, some dating to the 19th century and featuring horizontal glazing bars and stopped hoods. A 20th-century plank door, incorporating a small window at the top, is positioned off-centre to the right, set within a moulded 4-centred stone surround with imposts and a stopped hood. Two axial stacks are present on the main body of the house, each with moulded cappings. The interior has not been inspected.
