Description
Dairy Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, with an early 18th-century extension on the left. It is built of coursed rubble limestone and features a stone slate roof with 20th-century brick chimney shafts. The taller two-storey block on the right has one and a half large bays, with an additional stair bay that slightly projects to the left. The lower two-storey wing on the left has two narrow bays.
The tall block has hollow-chamfered stone mullion windows with Tudor hoodmoulds, including a four-light window on the ground floor to the right, a three-light window above, and a two-light window over the door to the left. There are similar two-light windows on the stair projection. The door, dating from the 19th century, features flush panels and a 17th-century ovolo-moulded wooden lintel. The steep roof is hipped over the stair projection and has flanking chimneys. The lower wing to the left has a later three-light window with chamfered stone mullions and no hoodmould on the ground floor to the right, along with a 20th-century two-light wooden casement window to the left above a 20th-century half-glazed door.
