Description

Dairy House is a house and dairy designed by the same architect as The Power House, built in the early 20th century. It features red brick construction, mostly pebbledash, with close-studded and decorative timber-framing on the first floor, and a red tile roof that was originally covered with large stone slates. The building has a rectangular plan with a gable that slightly projects forward off-centre to the left, and the dairy is positioned at right angles to the rear.

The house is two storeys tall, with a single-storey extension at the back. The front facing the road has a brick plinth that continues upward as pilasters at the corners. There are three four-light sliding sash windows on the ground floor, and a two-light sliding sash window on the first floor of the projecting gable. The main body of the house has single three-light sliding sash windows on either side. A part-glazed door with fillets is located far right within a flat-roofed porch that has lattice-work sides and lattice-work lunettes.

At the right gable end, there is a three-light canted bay under a jetty supported by thin wooden brackets, and a three-light sliding sash window on the first floor. An open-sided lean-to porch is found at the left gable end, featuring a plank door with a segmental head flanked by single-light casements. The west side of the dairy range has segmental-headed openings, while the east side is open-fronted with late 20th-century concrete block piers at the front of each bay. All windows have glazing bars. The building has hipped gable ends and axial brick stacks. The interior has not been inspected.
