Dale Head

Dale Head is a house that likely dates from the late 17th century, with a 19th-century addition. It is constructed of stone rubble and is limewashed on the south side. The south elevation features two storeys and four bays, with the first two bays being taller due to the later addition. On the ground floor, the first bay has a sashed window with vertical glazing bars and horns, the second bay contains small-paned glazing in what was previously an entrance, and the third and fourth bays have casement windows. The window in the third bay lights the hall and has a light to the left of the mullion with a dripstone above. The first floor includes a sash window in the first bay and small casements in the third and fourth bays. There is an entrance with a plank door in the third bay. The house has three gable-end stacks, with the stack on the fourth bay projecting. The rear of the building features an outshut under a catslide roof and two raking buttresses, along with a casement window and a sashed window. Dale Head is owned by the National Trust.
