The Old Dairy House

The Old Dairy House is a detached house that was formerly two cottages. The east cottage dates from the late 16th to early 17th century, while the west cottage is from the early 19th century. The walls of the west section (left) feature flint and brick banding, while the east section (right) is primarily brick, likely serving as a facing on cob, with a plat band at the first floor level. There is a buttress on this section. The house has a thatched roof with one brick chimney stack at the right end and another to the left of center. It is two storeys high and has a ledged door with a small glass panel. Both the ground and first floors have three casement windows each, fitted with cast iron lights. The rear wall is made of plastered cob on a flint base, and there is a 20th-century single-storey rear extension constructed of brick with a pantiled roof. Inside the older section, the main ground floor room features deeply chamfered intersecting ceiling beams and a large fireplace that has been partially built up. The first floor room retains an oak lintel from a blocked fireplace. In the left-hand section, the first floor timbers have been removed, and a large stone fireplace has been rebuilt.
