Description

Dales Cottage and Dales Farmhouse, originally a farmhouse and two cottages, date from the mid 18th century. The building is constructed of coursed, squared buff sandstone rubble, topped with a Kerridge stone-slate roof featuring a stone ridge and four stone chimneys. It has a long rectangular plan.

On the left side, there are two two-storey, two-unit cottages, each with two-light square-sectioned mullions on the ground floor and similar three-light windows above. The doors, one of which is blocked, are set under rough stone lintels. To the right is a two-storey, three-bay farmhouse that has altered casements under rough stone lintels on the ground floor and two-light horizontal sliding sashes with glazing bars in former stone mullion surrounds above. The central wooden doorcase, which has a cambered head and is recessed under a rough stone lintel, contains a four-board door.
