Dilton Vale Farmhouse

Dilton Vale Farmhouse is a farmhouse of mid- to late 18th century origin, with extensions from around 1800 and a late 20th-century garage. The building is constructed of rubble stone and brick with stone dressings, under pitched roofs covered in treble Roman tiles, which likely replaced earlier plain tiles.

The plan consists of a central two-storey core, a lower two-storey extension at the north end, and a cat-slide extension along the north-west elevation around 1800. A lean-to garage was added to the south end in the late 20th century.

The southeast front elevation is built of red and purple/black brick headers on a moulded stone plinth, with rustic stone quoins, a moulded stone string above the ground floor, and stone window dressings. It has three bays, each with three-light casement windows on the first floor, and three-light sash windows at ground floor, the centre light taller, within a moulded architrave with beaded inner edges. A doorway, formerly the main entrance, is off-centre to the left, with a plain moulded stone architrave and a flat hood supported by cut stone brackets. The six-panel door has the upper two panels glazed. A narrow brick remnant of an attached full-height bay, incorporating earlier timber framing in the gable end, is visible to the left – likely a former mill. A lower two-storey stone extension is located to the right, with brick quoins and a range of window openings. The north-east gable end of the central core features a stone tablet reading "J.T. 1763", above brick dove holes. The irregular rear north-west elevation has a mix of 19th and 20th-century casement windows.

Internally, the building largely dates from the mid- to late 20th century, though some late 18th and 19th-century plasterwork, timber floorboards, and a plain late-19th-century timber fireplace surround survive. The main core has a timber coupled rafter roof, primarily from the second half of the 18th century. Visible timber framing at attic level in the south gable end suggests that the core of the farmhouse was added to an earlier south-facing range.
