Description
Dunlis House is a 17th-century house that was raised and extended in the early to mid-19th century. It is timber-framed and now clad in painted brick, with the timber framing exposed on the north side, showing the line of the former roof. The roof is covered in plain slate. The house has two storeys and an irregular arrangement of one window on each floor, with 20th-century casement windows. A panelled door is located on the left. A two-storey single-window range was added to the left when the roof was raised. A roughcast block extends to the rear. Inside, the ground floor has been reordered, but original ceiling beams remain. An integral timber chimney stack is incorporated into the principal roof truss alongside an associated partition, door frame, and winder stair. The queen-brace roof is intact and it is believed that the original thatched roof remains beneath the later slate covering.
