Description
Dolwar Hall is a farmhouse constructed with rendered stonework, featuring some surviving timber-framing on the east side, which includes one early window. The main part of the building extends in a north/south direction and consists of 1½ storeys, with differing roof pitches on each side. There is a single-storey west wing that has a lower roof and a later extension. The roof is covered with slate and has tile ridges, with a stone axial chimney on the main range and an end-chimney on the original part of the west wing. Five dormer windows have been added to the west-facing side. All doors and windows, except for the one in the timber framing, are modern replacements. The main doorway on the east side has an enclosed porch, while there is an open porch on the west side.
The main range is divided into three units and consists of five bays. The parlour is located at the south end, featuring a chamfered beam above with tongue stops. There are double similar beams over the hall, and crucks are visible in the upstairs area.
