Description
Dalton House is a house dating to circa 1840 in Dalton in Furness. It is constructed of pebble-dashed limestone with a graduated slate roof. The house is two storeys and an attic in height, with three bays. It has a plinth and a central, part-glazed panelled door within a stone doorcase with sunken-panelled pilasters, a dentilled string, roundels on the frieze, and a bold cornice, alongside panelled aprons. The windows are 12-pane sashes in cemented surrounds, with a band beneath the sills of the first-floor windows. A modillioned wooden cornice is present, with oversailing verges and ashlar end stacks featuring bands and sets of coroneted pots. The left return has a round-arched attic window with a casement containing glazing bars.
The interior features a contemporary staircase with square rods and a wreathed handrail, and an acanthus ceiling rose. A ground-floor room on the right has a contemporary fire surround and basket-arched recess with colonnettes. A ground-floor room on the left contains a recess with pilasters, egg and dart moulding, a pierced oak leaf frieze, and a deeply-moulded ceiling cornice. There’s also wall panelling that appears to be from a different location.
