Description

Dove House is an early 17th-century timber-framed house with brick infill, situated on the west side of High Street, Haddenham. The main structure is a three-bay east-west range, accompanied by a one-and-a-half-bay south wing, both dating to the 17th century. A modern infill section is present at the southwest angle, and a more recent north wing is also evident. The roof is covered in old tiles. The house has two storeys and an attic.

The north front features a four-light 17th-century oak-framed window with ovolo-moulded mullions. There is a doorway in the north wing, sheltered by a tiled hipped hood, and another doorway in the east wall of the south range. A substantial brick stack with two diamond shafts, and lower sections in rubblestone, is located in the north half of the south wing.

Dove House originally followed a letter-T plan and has a lobby-entry layout, with a staircase positioned inline with the stack in the south wing. Internally, the centre bay of the east-west range now contains a modern open-well staircase. Rooms feature chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and inglenook fireplaces. There is significant 20th-century added timberwork, as well as Tudor-style doors.
