Fountain Dale and attached outbuilding wall and gate pier

A mid-18th century house with an attached outbuilding, along with a surrounding wall and gate pier. The front of the house was altered in the early 19th century, with further extensions added in the late 19th century. The front facade is roughcast render over red brick, with a hipped slate roof and a single ridge stack. Wide bracketed eaves run along the top. The two-storey, three-bay front has a canted central bay, featuring a 19th-century panelled door with a Gothick glazing bar overlight. Single sash windows with Gothick glazing bars flank the doorway, and matching windows are above. To the rear is a two-story ashlar range with a hipped slate roof and a single ridge stack. A single-story, single-bay extension is located to the right, while a two-story, four-bay range is set back to the left. The left three bays of this range are whitewashed ashlar, projecting slightly from the roughcast bay on the right. Small casements with Gothick glazing bars are visible to the left, alongside a tripartite Yorkshire sash window. Two of the openings on the left are former carriage archways. Above these are a single glazing bar sash and three sashes with Gothick glazing bars. The rear of this wing is of 18th-century origin. A late 19th-century two-story outbuilding, constructed of painted red brick with hipped slate roof and dogtooth eaves, projects from the left side. The side wall features two pointed arched fixed lights with Gothick glazing bars, while the front wall has a single quadripartite glazing bar casement on the first floor. A narrow coped ashlar wall with shaped coping and gate pier is attached to the rear left. The east, or garden, front has a single glazing bar sash in the single-story extension, and two low glazing bar sashes to the right, with two smaller sashes above. Fountain Dale is known as the traditional home associated with the original of Sir Walter Scott's "Friar Tuck."
