Description
Dale Brook is a timber-framed house, fronted with gault brick, built around 1780. It features a stone-coped parapet in front of a ridged and gabled roof that is clad with Cornish slates. The building has two storeys and five bays, with the front door situated between two fluted Tuscan columns made of timber, topped with a flat entablature. On the ground floor, there are four small-paned sash windows on the left, set under straight gauged arches, and five matching sash windows on the first storey. The house was formerly the residence of Raymond Erith, who enlarged one of the ground storey rooms and designed two of the existing fireplaces.
