Description

Dunkery View is a cottage that adjoins the Chapel of St Leonard. It dates from the 16th century, with a 19th-century porch and a 20th-century extension. The exterior is roughcast over rubble, with an exposed upper section of a rubble stack on the north front. The roof is thatched and has a half-hipped east end, with a double Roman tile addition.

The original plan was likely a single cell entered at the north-west corner beside the stack. It now features a single-storey addition to the south-west, adjacent to the chapel on the west side. The cottage is one and a half storeys tall, with a gabled dormer on the south front at the first floor. The ground floor has two 20th-century windows, and the entrance is through a ribbed 19th-century door with a Tudor arch head located in the porch that has been extended to the south. The east end has a 20th-century casement window at the first floor only. On the north front, there is a tiny pointed lancet window on the chimney breast, a square-headed opening to the left, a 2-light chamfered mullion window on the right at the first floor, and a 20th-century window inserted below in an earlier door. The interior has not been seen.
