Description
Dairy Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century, with a front block from the early 18th century, but it contains some features from the 15th century. The rear is timber-framed, while the front block is constructed of red and blue brick in a chequer pattern, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys, featuring a dentilled brick band and a brick cornice. The roof is hipped at the front and has a gabled wing at the rear. There are two gabled dormers and brick ridge stacks on the rear wing. The front has an irregular arrangement of three windows, with wide casements that have gauged flat-arched surrounds on the ground floor. There is a panelled door, likely from the 19th century, set in a pilastered doorcase with a flat hood above. The west elevation has two bays of 18th-century brick chequer, which is continued by 19th-century red brickwork to the left. On the north side, there is a gable with exposed 17th-century timber framing below it and on the east return front of its wing. There is a lean-to addition at the angle and a 19th-century one-and-a-half storey extension to the east.
