Dinhams Farmhouse

Dinhams Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been divided into two cottages. It is possibly of late medieval origin, with alterations made in the late 16th century and early to mid-20th century. The building is rendered over rubble and cob, featuring a double Roman tiled roof and brick stacks at the gable ends, with a rebuilt 20th-century stack to the left of the cross passage. The layout suggests it may have originally been a single-storey open hall that was later enlarged and ceiled to form a three-cell structure with a cross passage.

The farmhouse is one and a half storeys high, with a façade that has three bays on the left and one bay on the right. All windows in the upper storey are 20th-century wooden three-light leaded casements that rise from below the eaves. On the ground floor, there are windows flanking an inserted secondary entrance on the left, which features a plank door. To the right of a studded plank door, there is another window with a moulded square-headed surround, both of which are covered by flat-roofed pentice porches supported by wrought iron brackets.

The interior has not been seen, but it is said to contain a timber-framed wattle and daub partition to the right of the cross passage. There are later chamfered beams traversing the cross passage and the east end room, featuring a chamfered wooden lintel above the fireplace and rebuilt walls. The hall has deep chamfers on the beams, a dog-leg stair with some turned posts, and some rectangular planks that are scratch-moulded on the room side. The ceiling includes rectangular and circular plaster panels, and the beams in the west end room have scroll stops.
