Description
Dingle House is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 16th century, with alterations and expansions made in the 17th century. It was renovated around 1980 and is now used as a house. The building is constructed from sandstone blocks and rubble, topped with a slate roof, and features an external chimney at the right end. The structure has a cruck-framed range of four bays, with a projecting wing at the front of the fourth bay.
It stands two storeys tall, with a modern lean-to porch providing the entrance at the angle with the wing. There is a blocked doorway with a large lintel in the first bay. The ground floor of the main range has four windows with chamfered mullions, although they are all different, with two featuring square lights. The first floor has one very small window in the third bay and an inserted window to the left. The wing includes a five-light double-chamfered stone mullion window with a hoodmould on each floor. The right return wall of this wing breaks back around an external chimney stack and features a garderobe with moulded corbels at the first floor of the gable end. The rear wall has been altered.
Inside, there are three full cruck trusses, with the first two having finely shaped blades of large scantling, while the third is inferior in both respects. All trusses have spurs and dorsals that support trenched purlins, some of which are windbraced. The collars remain, but the tie-beams have been severed. In the wing, there is a large rectangular fireplace with a chamfered surround; the lintel was likely originally Tudor-arched but has since been altered. The chimney-piece incorporates corbels at the upper corners that support the ceiling beams.
