Description
Diglake House is a farmhouse that likely dates from around 1770 and has been altered over time. It is constructed of brown brick in Flemish bond and features a roof made of pantiles, which replaced the original stone slate. The building has a square plan with two bays on each side and stands two storeys high with an attic. It is almost symmetrical, with gable chimneys. The central doorway has a modern glazed door, and the original small pedimented doorcase has been removed. There are two tall windows on each floor, with the ones on the right positioned closer to the door. All windows are topped with splayed stone heads that have pseudo-voussoirs and keystones, although the glazing has been altered and no longer features the original sashes. Inside, there is an original plain staircase that reaches full height, with a closed string and double square newels, along with six-panel doors.
