Dairyley Farmhouse

Dairyley Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1600, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame that is plastered and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building is arranged in an L-shape, with wings extending to the northwest and northeast, each containing one axial stack. There is an 18th-century extension at the angle of the wings. The house has two storeys and the southwest elevation displays a three-window range of 20th-century casements. The entrance includes a six-panel door with glazed top panels, set within a simple early 19th-century doorcase that has a shallow hood supported by scrolled brackets, along with a 20th-century half-glazed door. The eaves feature a complete set of original sprockets. Inside, the farmhouse has jowled posts, curved bracing that is trenched inside the studs, and both axial and transverse chamfered beams with lamb's tongue stops. The plain joists in the northwest bay are of horizontal section, while those in the southeast bay are of vertical section. The wallplates show face-halved and bladed scarfs, and there is primary straight bracing in the 18th-century extension.
