Dodford House

Dodford House is a former vicarage, now a house, dating from the mid-18th century with a late 18th-century addition. It is constructed of ironstone ashlar and features a slate mansard roof with brick end stacks. The building has a central staircase plan and stands two storeys tall with an attic, presenting a five-window range.

The central bay, which is pedimented and breaks forward, contains a six-panel central door with an overlight. This door is flanked by small eight-pane sash windows, and above it is a Venetian window with sash frames, featuring intersecting glazing bars at the head and a blind lunette in the pediment topped with a stone Greek cross. On either side of the central bay are pairs of twelve-pane sash windows on both the ground and first floors, with the ground floor windows having segmental relieving arches adorned with limestone keyblocks.

The building includes a plinth, a storey band, a moulded stone cornice, and a high plain stone-coped parapet that partially conceals three hipped dormers and stone-coped gables. To the left, there is a later 18th-century two-bay wing that has similar sash windows, a storey band, and cornice, but features a lower parapet and hipped roof.

Inside, the staircase hall is noted for its stone flagged floor and an open well staircase with slender turned balusters and a ramped and wreathed handrail.
