Description

Dale Cottage is a detached house from the early 19th century located on The Green in Rottingdean, Brighton. The building consists of two parts. The first part, known as Dale Cottage, features a stucco exterior and a tiled roof. It is two storeys high with three windows. The entrance is flat-arched and situated under a porch supported by quasi-Doric columns, leading to a six-panelled door with the top two panels glazed. There are two-storey bay windows on either side of the entrance; the left bay is shallow and canted, while the right bay is five-sided and deeper. Most of the glazing bars have been renewed, except for the window above the porch, which retains sashes of the original design and has a hoodmould above it. The house has an end stack, and the left-hand return is rendered.

The second part includes two ranges made of brick and flint at the rear, with the westernmost range formerly listed as Dale Flat. There is a single-storey entrance linking the two ranges. The easternmost range has a stucco finish and a lean-to roof, while the westernmost range features a flat-arched window with late 19th-century stained glass. Adjacent to these ranges is part of a former barn with an open cartway, which is not considered to have special architectural or historic interest.
