Description
Dairy House is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates back to the 17th century, with additions and alterations made in the 19th century. The building is timber framed with brick infill, which is partially rendered, and it has a plain tile roof.
The entrance front features a 19th-century projecting gabled dairy block on the right side, which includes a cambered-headed three-light window on the first floor. To the left of this block, there is a section of timber framing that has been rendered and painted to mimic the original framing beneath. This section displays nine by two cells of small framing set on a deep brick plinth. There is a doorway located left of center, accompanied by a three-light casement window to the left. Above the doorway, there is a three-light gabled dormer window.
To the left, there is a slightly projecting gabled wing of two bays that has been refaced with brick in the early 19th century. This wing features two cambered-headed windows on each floor, with the left windows being blocked and the right ones having three-light casement windows. Between these windows, there is a chimney breast with offsets, and a 20th-century stack is located at the ridge on the left of the central rendered portion.
The right gable end has the 19th-century dairy block abutting it on the left, while on the right, there is a large 17th-century chimney stack with offsets, alongside a section of small framing. The left gable end features a brick clasping buttress on the right, which is part of the early 19th-century refacing of the left wing on the entrance front. To the left of this buttress, there are eight by three cells of uneven small framing, with angle braces on both sides.
The rear of the house has a deep brick plinth, above which are nine by two cells of small framing. There are three-light casement windows on the ground floor to the right and left, and one casement window on the first floor to the left. To the right, there is a flush gabled portion with jowled corner posts and brick infill between, topped by a timber-framed gable.
