Description
This is a late 17th-century house of three storeys and five windows. It is located on the High Road in Tottenham. The house has a high-pitched, hipped roof covered in tiles, with chimneys built out from the ridge. A sundial is set into the southern chimney above the eaves, featuring an inscription that is no longer legible and the date 1691. The eaves have a coved stuccoed cornice. The windows are replacement sash windows in plain, flush box frames, set under segmental brick arches. The house is constructed of dark red brick and features stuccoed bands on the second and first floors. The first-floor band steps up over the central doorcase, which is decorated with attached rusticated columns, medallions, friezes, mutuled side cornices, and an open pediment. Two side flights of three stone steps lead to the door terrace, which has a cast iron railing. Dial House forms a group with numbers 790 to 802 (even), and the walls and railing up to number 796.
