Description
The Dairy Range at Dairy House Farm is a former stable building, now used for dairy and storage, largely dating from 1721, with a 17th-century core and later additions. The barn, built in the 19th century, is styled to match the 1721 range. The structure is made of brown brick with stone dressings and has slate roofs.
The stables are a 2½ storey range that runs east to west, featuring a symmetrical design with three gabled bays, the central bay projecting forward. Notable architectural details include a stone plinth, quoins, a first-floor band, kneelers supporting stone-capped gable parapets, and both fluted and plain keystones. The ground floor has nine replaced windows and a door, along with one blocked opening, while the central bay lacks keystones. The first floor features blocked or blank rectangular openings, some of which have keystones. The gables have blank pitch holes with plain keystones, a brick band at eaves height, and dentils below the eaves.
At the rear, facing the farmyard, there is a single-bay gabled dairyhouse constructed with timber framing and painted brick nogging, with some areas simulating timber framing, all under a slate roof. The barn runs north-south and has a west front with two small front-facing gables that contain air vents. The gable end features a quatrefoil vent below the ridge, vertical slit vents below, and two rectangular loft openings. The east front facing the yard has ground and first-floor rectangular openings, some of which are glazed and asymmetrically arranged, along with stone quoins, kneelers, and gable parapets. The outward front is mostly obscured by later stables.
