Description
Dairy House Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse with some small alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of orange brick in English garden wall bond and features a Kerridge stone-slate roof with a stone ridge and four brick chimneys. The south front has two and a half storeys and seven bays. There is a raised brick band at the first floor. The right three bays, which are two and a half storeys high, have three-light 20th-century copies of wooden mullioned and transomed windows with glazing bars, set under flat wedged brick heads. These flank an added gabled porch that contains a four-panelled door. Above the porch is a mullioned and transomed window in a gabled half dormer. The left three bays are part of the original building and are two storeys high, featuring similar mullioned and transomed windows along with a blocked fire window below two-light casements above. The left end bay is part of an added farm building that has since been converted. At the rear, there are original windows, one of which has a top panel that slides horizontally.
Inside, the farmhouse has a dogleg oak stair with square newels and a heavy square handrail, with a similar rail halfway down. There are two three-board doors in the lower storeys and a complete set of doors to the attic. The interior also features chamfered ceiling beams and a firebeam in the room at the left end. A room at the rear still functions as a dairy, complete with stone flag ledges and a central table.
