East Farmhouse And Attached Outbuilding

The building comprises a late 18th-century farmhouse with an attached outbuilding, located on the north side of Dalton Lane in Dalton Parva. The farmhouse is constructed of coursed, squared, dressed sandstone, with a Welsh slate roof. It is three storeys high and originally three bays wide, with an altered wing to the rear left, and a low, two-storey outbuilding attached to the right return. An ashlar plinth and chamfered quoins are present. The central entrance has a panelled door and a three-pane overlight within a swept-shouldered ashlar surround, featuring bead-moulded inner arrises, and an ashlar panel rising to a pediment. Flanking bays have 20th-century casements set within original square-faced surrounds and projecting sills. A first-floor band runs beneath three similar windows; the shorter second-floor windows contain six-pane sashes, with a matching central casement. Sections of cornice are visible at each end of the altered eaves, now featuring a brick stack to the front left. The building has kneelers and ashlar gable copings, with a renewed brick end stack on the right. The outbuilding on the right has a boarded first-floor hatch, stone slate eaves courses, shaped kneelers, gable copings, and a brick ridge stack. The rear of the farmhouse shows a two-storey outbuilding with two doorways (one blocked) and various windows all set within square-faced surrounds. The left return of the main range features a sash with glazing bars beneath a lintel with a keystone, and a similarly detailed lintel to a renewed first-floor window. The wing on the left has channelled lintels, the first-floor lintel retaining an unaltered 16-pane sash, and is now flat-roofed.
