Description
The Dower House, formerly known as The Vicarage, is a building from the late 18th century, around 1763. It is constructed of flint rubble with raised flint quoins and window dressings. The structure features a symmetrical arrangement with a central block that has two storeys and an attic, highlighted by a pedimented tetrastyle Greek Ionic portico on the east front at the ground floor. There are four windows on the ground floor, which are sashes, and on the first floor, there are casements under lintels. The attic has box dormer casements with glazing bars.
Flanking the central block are slightly recessed one-storey and attic wings, each topped with pedimented roofs. Each wing contains one sash window on the east side set in a flush arched panel, and the side return elevation features a central window in a similar arch, flanked by two semi-circular arched niches. The building is topped with Welsh slate roofs, which are nipped in the center with a circular stack at the apex. There are later extensions on the west side.
