Description
Dashwood House is a farmhouse that has been divided into flats. It dates from the 18th century and may be an enlargement of an earlier dwelling. The building features a red sandstone random rubble exterior with a double Roman tiled hipped roof and three brick stacks. The layout suggests it may have originally been designed with a three-cell and cross passage plan. The house is two stories high and has six bays. The first floor has early 19th-century three-light leaded casement windows, some of which have quadrant stays. On the ground floor, there are two pairs of 20th-century three-light casement windows with tiled pentices supported by wooden brackets, flanking a gabled porch made of red sandstone with a tiled roof and an elliptical-headed opening, which contains a 20th-century plank door.
