Description
North Dean House and The Dower House are two houses that were originally a house and a service wing. The left range is possibly from the mid to late 18th century and was altered in the mid 19th century. The front range was remodeled in the early 20th century to reflect a mid 18th century style, and a service wing was added to the rear around 1920. The left side is rendered and colorwashed, while the rest is made of brick, topped with hipped old tile roofs and brick chimneys.
The building has two storeys and an attic. The front features narrow red and vitreous brick with moulded eaves. Quoins and pilaster strips flanking the door have one course of projecting rounded brick in every four. There is cogged brick above the central first-floor window. The facade includes seven bays of boxed sashes with segmental heads, three hipped dormers with paired leaded casements, and a central two-panel door with a flat wooden hood supported by scroll brackets.
The 1920s extension to the right matches the original style and has a semi-circular projection with three bays of sash windows. The right side features a three-bay centerpiece with a shaped parapet and a cluster of three complex chimney shafts. The left side has a first-floor band course and five bays of three-pane sashes. The central bay includes a two-storey gabled projecting porch with Tudor hoodmoulds over the upper sash and a glazed door. Inside, there is fake timber framing, along with fireplaces and a staircase designed in the Elizabethan style.
