Description

Dundale Farmhouse is a house that dates from the mid to late 16th century, with extensions and alterations made in the 17th to 18th centuries. It features a timber frame set on a base of red brick and sandstone, with parts of the frame exposed and plaster infill. The first floor is tile hung, and the return and rear elevations are finished in red brick and tile hanging. The roof is plain tiled.

The house has a continuous jettied design with four framed bays, and it stands two storeys high, with a garret and basement on a plinth. The ground floor has close studding, and the first floor features a coved and plastered jetty supported by a moulded bresummer on brackets. There are two projecting stacks at the ends; the left stack was rebuilt in the late 20th century, while the right stack is massive and made of English bond brickwork, dating from the same time as the basement, and has two lozenge set flues. There is also a large freestanding stack at the rear centre right.

On the first floor, there are four two-light wooden casements, and on the ground floor, there are three three-light wooden casements, along with blocked mullioned windows at the centre and to the end right. The doors to the left and centre right are 20th-century rib and stud doors. A mullioned garret window is located on the right return. There is a late 20th-century single-storey extension at the end left, which has part of the frame exposed and is partly tile hung, featuring wooden casements and a boarded door in the left return. The rear elevation has a largely 18th-century character, with a two-storey hipped wing that includes wooden casements and French doors on the ground floor.
