Description
Dinsdale's Cottage is a farmhouse dated 1649, with 18th century and later additions. It is built of slobbered rubble brought to course, with stone dressings and a stone slate roof. The cottage is two storeys high and has three bays. The entrance, located to the left of centre, features a chamfered surround with stops and a Tudor arched lintel inscribed with the initials CD, which stand for Christopher Dawson, and has a 20th century glazed door.
On the ground floor, there are two chamfered windows, and on the upper floor, there are two more chamfered windows. These are likely former cross windows that had their mullions and transoms removed. The left-hand bay is an extension, and its ground floor window was lowered in the 20th century to create an entrance. The right-hand bay has a quirked and double-quirked bead moulded surround for the windows on both floors. All windows have 20th century casements, except for a late 19th century sash window with glazing bars located in the upper floor left-hand window.
There is a ridge stack situated between the central and right-hand bays, as well as a right-hand gable end and ridge stack. The right-hand return features a projecting stack supported by three corbels, with a three-light double chamfered window and a hoodmould to its right. Additionally, there are two single-light chamfered windows, one above the other on either side of the stack, which are now blocked.
