Description
Dale Cottage is a house dating from around 1626. It features a timber frame with whitewashed brick infill and consists of three cells over two storeys. The road frontage measures 13 feet and includes three cells of small framing, with angle braces at the right-hand corner and in the sixth, seventh, and tenth bays from the right. There is a door located to the left of the centre, with a 2-light casement window to the left and two 3-light casement windows on the ground floor to the right. A single 3-light dormer casement window is present on the first floor. To the extreme right, there is a blocked doorway with a carved lintel displaying a date and a fleur de lys. The right-hand gable end has five cells of small framing with arched braces. The truss features Queen posts with angle struts that run parallel to the principals. Additionally, there is a 19th-century outshut at the rear.
