Description

Dial House is a house dating from the 17th century, originally a two-bay timber-framed structure. It was converted in the late 17th or early 18th century into a double range and later had its windows bricked up. There is a single-storey lean-to extension from the 19th century on the left side. The house has a hipped roof covered with red plain tiles and stands two storeys tall. The first floor features a two-window range of horizontal sliding sashes, while the ground floor has a 19th or 20th-century three-light bay window on the left and a glazed door on the right. A central red brick chimney stack is present. Inside, there are stop-chamfered beams and jowled storey posts, along with 18th or 19th-century beaded vertical boarding in the hall and room. The house also retains several early doors and other notable features.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 58% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
