Dalton House

Dalton House is a house, later used as offices, dating from the early 18th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries. The house is constructed of handmade brick in a Flemish bond pattern, topped with a plain tiled roof. A brick stack is located at the rear, another to the right end of the front range, and a larger stack in the valley. The house is two storeys and has an attic with dormers; a three-course band runs between the main storeys at the front, and a dentilated eaves cornice is also present. It has three bays. The ground floor windows have cambered brick heads, and there are two 2-light casements dating from the 19th century in the central and right bays. The left bay features a blocked 19th-century doorway, flanked by two narrow, blind 19th-century windows, with a blind first-floor window above. Three gabled dormers, each with a 2-light 20th-century casement, are visible. The main entrance, situated between the central and right bays, is protected by a 19th-century porch with a swept, hipped lead canopy and scalloped eaves supported by wrought iron brackets. Panels of wrought iron infill the sides of the porch. The doorway has a moulded architrave, and the door has six raised and fielded panels. The original ends of the purlins are visible in both gable ends. A mid-19th-century range extends to the rear of the building.
