Dale Cottage

Dale Cottage is a cottage that likely dates back to the 16th century, with later additions and alterations. It features roughcast on a rubblestone plinth, which mainly conceals a timber frame. The thatched roof is covered by corrugated iron sheeting, with rubblestone end stacks; the left stack is integrated with the stone cladding of the gable, while the right stack projects and has stepping, dripstones, and capping. The cottage has two storeys and irregular fenestration, with 20th-century metal casements—three on the first floor and three on the ground floor. The entrance is located to the right, and square panelling is visible in the right gable end. At the rear, there is an outshut that is part stone and part timber-framed.

Inside, the timber framing is largely intact, featuring large square panels, including a central cross wall. The ground floor has massive wide chamfered beams and heavy joists, with a wide low fireplace and a beam above in the right-hand room, and an infilled bake oven in the left-hand room (the parlour). On the first floor, the central roof truss is visible and is of Queen strut construction with V-struts to the collar.
