Description
Dingle Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It is built from sandstone rubble with some quoins and features a slate roof with a double chimneystack located at the ridge where the second and third bays meet. The building has a three-bay baffle-entry plan, with an outshut at the rear of the first bay and a modern glazed porch that connects to a contemporary addition at the back.
The farmhouse is two storeys high. The original doorway, located at the junction of the second and third bays, has a large lintel with a cambered head, and above it is a small square panel that likely held a datestone, although it is now damaged. To the right of the door, there is a very large buttress that interrupts a continuous dripcourse running across the tops of all the ground floor windows. On the left side of the door, there are 4 and 6-light double-chamfered stone-mullion windows, while to the right, there is a 3-light window with chamfered mullions. The first-floor windows, which are similar in style, consist of 3, 4, and 3 lights.
The left return wall features ground floor windows with 3, 2, and 2 lights, while the right return wall has a 5-light window on the first floor. The rear of the building has a door at the junction of the second and third bays, a 2-light window in the second bay, and a blocked window in the third bay.
Inside, the interior has been mostly altered, but original beams supported by moulded stone corbels can still be found in the parlour, where the partition wall has been removed. Re-used beams in the third bay show old housings, and the first floor of this bay is stone flagged.
