Description
Dairy Farmhouse is a house that was originally a farmhouse, dating from the early 17th century, with an extension added in 1878, as noted on a plaque in the gable. The building has two storeys and a three-cell lobby-entrance plan. It features a timber-framed structure that is rendered, with an asbestos slated roof adorned with 19th-century cusped bargeboards. A 17th-century axial chimney made of red brick has a saw-tooth pattern shaft, and the plinth includes an inset limestone mask depicting a bearded face. The windows are 19th-century casements. The left extension, built in the 19th century, is made of red brick with gault brick bands, has a slated roof, and features a gable chimney. The entrance door, which has six panels, dates to around 1878. Inside, there is an ovolo-moulded mullioned window visible at the parlour end, along with areas of well-preserved 17th-century timber-framing.
