Description

Dillington Park Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse built in the early 18th century. It features cut and squared ham stone and has a thatched roof with a coped east gable and a hipped return, along with brick chimney stacks. The building has an 'L' shape and consists of two storeys with an attic, displaying a four-bay south elevation. The windows are casements, mostly rectangular leaded, with three-light bays in the first and second positions and two-light bays in the third and fourth positions, all under timber lintels. Between the second and third bays, there is a stone and thatched porch with a 20th-century outer door and a fully-glazed inner door.

Attached to the west gable is a 19th-century crossway that is rendered and has a Welsh slate roof, stepped coped gables, brick end chimney stacks, and casement windows. High in the east gable, there is an oculus window towards the south end and a barrel-shaped light with an old casement towards the north. The rear features an extending wing that matches the main block and a Welsh slated outshut. The interior has not been seen.

To the east gable, there is a lower two-storey building with a plain clay tiled roof. The ground floor has a two-light and a three-light stone mullioned window, with a wide door between them, and 20th-century doors and windows to the right. Above, there is a six-light chamfer-mullioned timber window that is unglazed, along with a doorway abutting the house gable and a flight of stone steps up the north side of the gable. Extending from the north-east corner of the farmhouse is a short tall wing wall with a gateway made of rusticated ashlar. The gateway features a keystone and oculus openings on either side, with plain coping that curves at the end. Additionally, there is a further single-storey building attached to the east outbuilding, likely from the 18th century, which has one two-light chamfer-mullioned timber window.
