Description
The dovecote at Low Farmhouse dates from around 1700 and is constructed from magnesium limestone rubble with ashlar dressings. It features a roof made of stone slate and pantile, complete with coped gables and moulded kneelers. The structure is three stories tall. The south front includes a single panel door beneath a timber lintel, with a similar loft door above it. There is also a continuous flight perch above these doors. The west gable is rendered. Inside, the dovecote has chamfered beams, and it is likely that the ground floor was originally used as a stable, with a hay loft situated above.
