Description
Dial Cottage is a house dated 1742, as indicated by a stone tablet bearing the name "John Gee." The building is constructed of dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a graduated stone slate roof along with brick stacks. It is a small structure consisting of one room on each of its two floors, with a small 19th-century wing added to the right.
The cottage has a projecting plinth and stone quoins. The central door, framed by a square-cut surround, is flanked by 2-light cavetto-moulded mullion and transom windows. On the first floor, there is an oculus window, known as an oeil-de-boeuf, with smaller blocked openings on either side and one in the gable. The gable itself features projecting eaves and bargeboards from the 19th century. The later wing includes a square-cut door surround and a 2-light mullioned window, and it is roofed at a right angle to the original structure. The cottage has two chimney stacks.
