Description

White Dial Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the 17th century and was altered and likely raised in the 18th century. The building is constructed of brick, now rendered and painted grey, with a steeply-pitched roof made of corrugated asbestos sheet. It features a ridge chimney and a gable chimney made of brick. The layout follows a three-bay baffle-entry plan and the building has two storeys. The wall steps down at a low level in the first two bays and at a higher level in the third bay, suggesting that rebuilding occurred at different times.

The doorway is aligned with the ridge chimney at the junction of the second and third bays and has a wooden canopy above it. There are three windows on each floor, all of which are modern three-light casements with glazing bars. Inside, the housepart in the middle bay contains an inglenook fireplace with an ovolo-moulded bressummer and two similarly decorated beams. There are two doorways leading to the axially-partitioned first bay, while the third bay is said to be older. The roof has not been inspected but may contain features of interest.
