Description
Dolenog is a building featuring an original section constructed from local rubble with freestone dressings, including quoins, a plinth, and a cill band. It has a hipped slate roof with bracket eaves and stone chimney stacks with neck bands. The building primarily has 9 and 12-pane sash windows with voussoir lintels. The entrance is located on the north side near the angle of the two ranges, situated in the advanced bay of what was originally a three-window front. Following the addition of the kitchen range, the front is now reduced to two windows, with the left-hand ground and first-floor windows being dummy. A narrow window has been inserted in the center, and there are half-glazed double doors. To the left of the entrance is an iron lamp, likely contemporary, featuring Telford style radiating bars and a bracket marked with the initials EW. The eastern front, which faces down the drive, also has a similar two-window arrangement.
The ivy-clad garden front is architecturally significant, consisting of three bays with a deep and broad central bow. The ground floor features 15-pane sashes that open onto a stone flagged terrace. The western end of the original house has a single window. There is a red brick 20th-century range, with the eastern side comprising a one-window section from around 1900 and a two-window garage section added later. This range has a slate roof, a brick stack, and small pane sash windows paired with the kitchen. The western side includes a studio on the upper floor that jetties out at one end. Iron railings surround the steps leading to the cellar.
Inside, the building retains six-panel doors and panelled shutters, along with a plain staircase. The dining room features a classical fireplace with detached fluted columns, though it has modern tiles. There is a segmental arched recess on the north wall behind a dummy window. The original front line can be observed from the kitchen, where the wall steps back beyond the entrance bay, revealing a blocked former right-hand window.
