Description
Dilston House is a building that originated as two houses, later becoming a farmhouse and granary, and is now a single residence. It dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with some later alterations. The structure is made of roughcast rubble and features pantile and Welsh slate roofs. It has two storeys and a total of five first-floor windows, with an added rear outshut on the right-hand side.
The left house has a central part-glazed six-panel door set in a quoined ashlar surround, which includes ogee moulding at the edges. To the right of the door is a large four-pane sash window, while the left side is obscured by a single-storey range that projects forward. On the first floor, there is a two-light casement window and a sash window with glazing bars, which has an exposed sash box and a lintel that originates from a two-light mullion window. The roof is covered with pantiles, and there is a brick stack at the left end.
The right house also features a central part-glazed six-panel door in a quoined ashlar surround with ogee moulding. It has canted bay windows with flat lead roofs on both sides of the door. The first floor has sash windows with glazing bars, exposed sash boxes, and ashlar sills and lintels. This section has a Welsh slate roof and brick stacks at the ends.
At the rear of the left house, there is a quoined surround to a segmental-arched opening that was formerly used for the granary but is now blocked. The left return features two 20th-century ground-floor four-pane sash windows and a first-floor single-light ashlar chamfered window. The right return has a ground-floor blocked single-light window and a first-floor blocked single-light ashlar chamfered window. The building was formerly known as Close House Farm.
