Dashes Farm House

Dashes Farm House is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with extensions added in the 17th and 18th centuries and alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The main structure is timber-framed with a red brick extension and roughcast plaster, covered by pantiled roofs. The original core consists of three bays, with two-bay service and later parlour additions. The house has two storeys and an attic to the parlour. The original entrance is towards the left of the early bays, featuring a half-glazed door under a bracketed hood. There are 20th-century casement windows, a half-dormer, and a blocked entrance in the service bays. A steeply pitched roof has an axial ridge stack in the original right bay. A 20th-century entrance outshut is at the right end. The roughcast brick parlour to the left of the house has an entrance with a half-glazed door and bracketed hood, 20th-century cross casements, a plat band, dentilled eaves, and a taller gambrel roof with a flat-headed dormer. A left-end internal stack has an oversailing cap. At the rear, exposed brickwork is visible along with a glazing-bar cross casement and a lean-to addition behind the service bays. Inside the original core, features include close studding, tension bracing, a stop-chamfered binding beam, a staircase behind the stack, first-floor opposed base cruck blades to a raised tie beam to the right of centre, an axial stop-chamfered binding beam, and an altered clasped purlin roof. The service bays have bar stop-chamfered cross axial binding beams, while the parlour features an ogee stop-chamfered cross axial binding beam, dado panelling, and a dogleg staircase with turned balusters. The building was formerly known as Barbers.
