Description
Dyke Farmhouse is a probably late 18th century, two-storey farmhouse with three wide bays. It is constructed of whitewashed rubble with an arched west gable, and features painted ashlar margins. The north elevation has a central doorway and sash windows; plate glass is used at ground floor level, and 12-pane glazing at the first floor. The roof is slate, with straight skews and corniced end stacks. A two-storey, two-bay rear wing is located to the south. The steading is not included in the listing. The listing was originally Category B and has been changed to Category C(S).
