Description

Dale Cottage Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse that has an earlier range attached and features 20th-century alterations. It is constructed from coursed rubble gritstone with ashlar dressings, quoins, coped gables with plain kneelers, and ashlar gable stacks, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The building has an irregular plan, with the main range and an attached range at a splayed angle at the west end.

The south elevation of the main range has two storeys and three bays, featuring a central doorway with a plain surround and head, and a six-panel door with two upper glazed panels. On either side of the doorway are 2-light flush mullioned windows with metal frames and lozenge leaded lights. The linked range at the rear connects to an offshut at the west end of the main range. The stonework of the link range and its quoining is less regular than that of the main range. There is a 2-light flush mullioned window on the north-east gable end of the linked range, and a 19th-century glazing bar sash window on the ground floor below.
