Description
1 and 2 Dinthill Cottages, located approximately 360 metres northwest of Dinthill Hall, is a house that has been divided and is now disused. It is likely from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with remodeling that occurred in the late 19th century. The structure is timber framed with red brick nogging and has been partly refaced or rebuilt in red brick. It features a slate roof that is hipped to the east.
The building has small square panels in its framing and is designed in an L-plan. It consists of two framed bays with a rear wing, and it is two storeys tall. The north front has an integral brick end stack to the right and at the rear of the wing. There are 19th-century one-and two-light cast-iron lozenge-pattern casements, with four on the first floor and two on the ground floor. An off-centre segmental-headed boarded door to the right is sheltered by a gabled porch. The left-hand return front has two-light cast-iron casements on each floor to the left and a segmental-headed boarded door to the right. The right-hand gable end is rendered and shows evidence of a collar and tie-beam truss beneath, along with pairs of purlin ends. At the rear, there is a 19th-century one-storey gabled wash house.
Inside, the left and right-hand ground-floor rooms feature deep-chamfered ceiling beams that run from front to back. The right-hand room includes a large open fireplace to the right with a moulded surround. There is a dog-leg oak staircase to the left of the entrance. The left-hand ground-floor rear room has a deep-chamfered ceiling beam and a chamfered girding beam with broach stops. Its fireplace has a deep stone lintel, likely reset, that dates back to the 17th century and features carved strapwork ornament with a moulded lower edge that formerly returned to the jambs, along with remnants of flanking chamfered rustication. A 19th-century cast-iron range is also present. The roof truss between the front range and rear wing is a collar and tie-beam type, supported by jowl posts.
This house, previously known as Dinthill Grange, was once the family home of the Purcells and the Owens. The fireplace lintel has been reset but is thought to originate from the house, which has undergone significant rebuilding. Traditionally, it is believed to have come from another nearby house that has since been demolished.
