Description

Dingle Cottage is a house built in 1706, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed from narrow coursed millstone grit with tooled ashlar dressings and features a stone slate roof along with three truncated stone stacks. The original layout was a two-unit end baffle entry plan.

The cottage is two storeys high and has quoins. The front displays irregular window placements. To the right, there is a doorway with a chamfered four-centred arched surround, above which is a lintel inscribed with 'M/ L R/ 1706'. Adjacent to this is a small chamfered two-centred arched window with a small knop ornament. To the left, there is a four-light chamfered mullion window, a 20th-century single light window between it and another single light window in a chamfered surround further left. Beyond these, there are inserted 20th-century double garage doors with a timber lintel. Above, there is a single light window in a chamfered surround flanked by a three-light mullion window in similar surrounds.

To the right, there is a single-storey addition featuring single and two-light mullion windows. Beyond this, a two-storey projecting wing with a higher roof has quoins and a single window on each floor, along with a two-light flush mullion window on the ground floor.

The rear of the cottage has irregularly scattered fenestration, including 19th-century flush mullion windows leading to a later porch. The housebody projects and features a small fire window on its outer face. Other windows are from the 20th century and reuse old materials.

Inside, there are two rough axial ceiling beams. The original fireplace has been removed and replaced in the late 20th century with a new one at the end of the room. The roof over the housebody has massive side purlins and a ridge piece.
