Dakin Farmhouse

Dakin Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1623, as indicated on the lintel of the main doorway, with alterations and additions from the 18th century. It is constructed from coursed rubble limestone with gritstone dressings, featuring quoins, plain gables, intermediate and end ashlar stacks, and a stone slated roof. The building has an L-plan layout and consists of two storeys with four bays, plus a single bay advanced gabled wing to the northeast.

Both the main range and the crosswing have ground floor three-light windows with tall ovolo mullions and moulded surrounds beneath hoodmoulds with stops. Above these, there were originally four-light chamfer mullioned windows, but now only single mullions remain. The ground floor west end has a single two-light flush mullioned window. The ground floor windows feature 19th-century joinery. The doorway, which is central to the main range, has a plain stone surround, a bracketed flat hood, and a 19th-century four-panelled door. There are also two square tablets above the lintel with weathered inscriptions.
