Description

Dower House Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse located in Stowe Nine Churches. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with ironstone dressings and features a tile roof with brick end and ridge stacks. The building has a four-unit through-passage plan, is two storeys high with an attic, and has a four-window range. The central doorway has a four-centred head and a 19th-century part-glazed door, flanked by two-storey canted bays that contain two-light stone mullion windows with leaded lights on the front, as well as stone coped gables. The ground floor windows at both ends have stone mullions, three leaded lights, and hood-moulds. The gables are also stone coped and have kneelers. There are single-storey additions on both the left and right sides. Inside, the farmhouse features some ogee stop-chamfered spine beams, an open fireplace, and a four-centred arched stone fireplace on the first floor.
