Description

Dinmont House is a house that likely dates from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century. It features walls made of calciferous sandstone rubble, some of which comes from the nearby Roman Wall. The roof is covered with graduated green slate and has coped gables, along with yellow brick chimney stacks set on stone bases. The house is two storeys high and has three bays. The entrance includes a four-panel door with a glazed fanlight, all within a plain stone surround. On the ground floor, there are two-pane double sash windows, and the upper floor features two-pane sashes, all with plain stone surrounds. The side walls indicate that the roof height has been raised and that there has been an extension to the rear.
