Dight's Farm was built on the land grant originally known as Durham Bowes.It is a rare example of our earliest colonial history.
A well sited homestead on Dight's Hill overlooking the Richmond Lowlands and is an integral part of the historic escarpment.
The nine acre highland farm was subdivided in the 1970s alienating the surviving outbuildings and landscape features. The barn, hayshed, coach house, servants sheds and horse mill were all demolished by 1978.
There have been a few alterations to the building since the 1870s. The building is an early Georgian homestead, with the original two-roomed sandstock brick cottage dating from around 1804. It has a corrugated iron roof, central chimney and brick floors with cement covering which has worn thin in places.
The two storey Georgian home was joined to the original cottage in the 1870s with a link section. The most unusual part of the house is the mock chimney which was added to give the house symmetry.
