Bilbower House, Dulverton

Bilbower, High Street, a doctor's surgery in 2008

Bilbower House on the south side of High Street, Dulverton was at some date divided into two. Formerly it was a substantial 18th-century house called Bilboa. Built of stone with brick window surrounds and pilaster doorcases under a slate roof, the house still has traces of its former status in the remaining 16-pane sashes and the moulded cornices on shaped brackets. The panelled door is approached by steps with a wrought iron hand rail.

For much of the 19th and 20th centuries it was the home of the Collyns family, several generations of whom were doctors and surgeons in Dulverton.
