Description
Old Dairy House is a dairy-house dating from the early 17th century. It features rubble-stone walls and a thatched roof, which was fully rethatched in 1985. The stone gable copings have moulded kneelers, and there are rebuilt brick stacks at the gable ends. The south elevation has 1½ storeys with three windows on the ground floor, which have hollow-chamfered stone mullions and separate labels above. The ground floor windows consist of a four-light window, a two-light window, and a canted bay with a four-light window at the front, all with iron casements. The upper floor has two full dormers with hipped thatch roofs and three-light mullions, with rebuilt rubble-stone dormers. The door, located at the right-hand end leading into an outshut, features re-set chamfered stone jambs and a depressed-arch head from the 17th century, with a 19th-century plank door and strap-hinges.
To the north, there is a rear range with a clay-tile roof and a gable end, which has a rubble-stone stack. This section has two storeys and features two- and three-light wood casements, along with a plank door at the rear. Inside, there is an unusual single-storey east passage. The east room has a ceiling divided into six panels by flat-chamfered beams and a large open fireplace. The central unheated area has stairs and partitions all made of 19th-century matchboarding. The west room has a ceiling divided into four panels by flat-chamfered beams, while the fireplace in the north-west gable is not original.
