Description
Dalginch is a traditional L-plan farmhouse dating from around 1800, with a later 19th century wing at the rear and a pavilion to the east. The building is two stories high and has three bays, along with a single-storey pavilion. It is constructed from coursed whinstone rubble featuring raised ashlar margins and droved quoins, while the pavilion is made of squared rubble. There is an eaves lintel course present.
The south elevation is symmetrical, featuring a small enclosed porch with a piend roof at the center bay on the ground floor, which has a part-glazed door with a 2-pane fanlight behind it. There are windows in the flanking bays and regular fenestration on the first floor. To the right, there is a slightly set-back single-storey pavilion with a window.
On the west elevation, there is a gabled section with a window to the left of center on each floor, and evidence of two attic lights in the gablehead that are now blocked. There is also a tiny window high up in a lean-to bay to the outer left, with a wall adjoining beyond.
The east elevation features a modern window in the pavilion next to the gabled elevation. The north elevation is irregularly fenestrated, with a projecting piended wing to the left of center and a single-storey lean-to bay to the right.
The windows are timber sash and case with a 12-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with some cans and thackstanes, as well as ashlar-coped skews with ropework moulded scroll skewputts. The boundary walls are made of coped rubble.
