Description
Sundial House Farm and Dial House are located on the north side of Durham Road in Wolviston. No 8, known as Sundial House Farm, is an 18th-century, two-storey red brick cottage featuring three windows with irregularly placed sash windows that have glazing bars and stone cills, including one window above a carriage arch. This cottage is part of a two-storey range of farm buildings, also made of red brick, which has five wide, irregular bays with plain boarded or louvred openings. There is one loading door on the first floor and three doors below, two of which are for vehicles. The building has a pantiled roof.
Dial House, No 10, is also two storeys high with three windows and is dated 1723 on a sundial located at the first-floor level. It has a roughcast exterior and a pantiled roof with ridge and end chimneys. The windows are sash windows set in wooden architraves, with the ground floor windows being double. The entrance features a six-panel door within an early 19th-century doorcase that includes slender pilasters and an entablature with a cornice hood. The sundial is inscribed with "Jno Finch. Sic transit hora 1723."
