Description
Dale Farmhouse is likely a medieval hall house, originally timber-framed and plastered, with a floor inserted during the 16th or 17th century, and subsequently altered. The building is one storey high, with attics. The lower portion of the front elevation and the south end are faced in red brick. Modern metal casement windows are present, as are two gabled dormers and a gabled porch, all on the front. A ridge chimney stack rises from the roof.
