Description
Dale Head is a farmhouse built in the early to mid-18th century. It features coursed rubble construction and a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and two first-floor windows, along with a rear outshut. The corners are marked by rough quoins. A central four-panel door is set within an ashlar basket-arched architrave. To the left, there is one bay with two-light flat-faced mullion windows that have slightly-chamfered ashlar surrounds, complemented by small sash windows on the ground floor and casements on the first floor. To the right, there is one bay with four-pane sash windows in ashlar architraves. The building has end stacks. At the rear of the outshut, there is a flat-faced mullion and transom landing window in an ashlar surround. Inside, the staircase features an inscription reading "I.L. 1747," which may refer to John Lodge, a property owner in Bishopdale, and likely indicates the date of the house.
