Description
The Dale Cottages, numbers 1 and 2, are a pair of timber-framed cottages dating from the 16th century or earlier. Each cottage has two storeys and three windows, with an irregular facade. They have high-pitched tiled roofs, with a cross gable to the left of the rear and a sloping roof on the right that descends to within about three feet of the ground. Number 2 exhibits visible square framing with diagonal braces, and the framing is brick-filled. It has modern casement windows on the upper floor and older iron casement windows on the ground floor. Number 1 has weatherboarding on the first floor and a brick ground floor; its windows are square-paned casements, with three of them being older iron casements. The interior reveals much exposed heavy timber, and number 2 contains an inglenook fireplace. The Dale Cottages form a group with Grosvenor House and numbers 1 and 2 Lockyer Place on Vicarage Hill.
