Farm Buildings Forming North Side Of Farmyard To North Of Dalton Hall

This is a range of attached farm buildings located on the north side of the farmyard to the north of Dalton Hall, dating from the late 18th century to the early 19th century and constructed in different styles. The buildings are made of rubble, partly coursed, with roofs of stone slate and pantile. The layout includes a barn to the west, a central barn with a cow house, and a stable with a loft over to the east. They are two and one storeys high.

On the south elevation, the easternmost building features coursed rubble and a stone slate roof, with quoins on the left side. It has a central board door beneath a deep lintel that displays herringbone tooling with draughted margins, flanked by round-arched openings, one of which is blocked to form a slit vent. There is also a central first-floor opening with a matching lintel and ashlar coping to the left. The central building has coursed rubble and a pantile roof with stone slates at the eaves. It includes an off-centre doorway with a quoined surround and a keyed lintel, along with a similar doorway with a board door adjacent to the easternmost building, and slit vents. The westernmost building is constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof and quoins, featuring a central stable door in a dressed stone surround with an arched lintel and slit vents.

On the north elevation, the eastern building has external stone steps leading up to a central first-floor board door. The central building has an off-centre stable doorway at the front with a replaced lintel, while the western building has a doorway at the front. The interiors of the buildings include five principal rafter roof trusses in the western building and collared principal rafter roof trusses in the central building. There is an addition at the north-east corner and attached cow byres that are not of special interest.
