Description
Red Dial Farmhouse is an early 19th-century building that was originally a public house and is now a farmhouse. It is constructed from red sandstone rubble with V-jointed quoins set on a chamfered plinth. The building features a graduated hipped greenslate roof with cement rendered chimney stacks. It stands two storeys tall and has three bays, with an L-shaped left side elevation that includes four bays under a common roof. The entrance consists of a top-glazed four-panel door beneath a radial fanlight, framed by a Tuscan doorcase. The windows are sash style, set in painted stone surrounds. There is also a 20th-century side door with a radial fanlight and additional sash windows in painted stone surrounds. Historical references indicate that a Red Dial public house existed on this site in the late 17th century, as noted in Bishop Nicholson's Diary. The adjoining barns are not of interest.
