Dassfauld is a good example of a small village cottage central located on the main street of the village and making a good contribution to the streetscape and local area. It is the only cottage in the run to have dormer windows.

Broughton Village was developed as an estate village to the former Broughton House and owned by the Lairds of the Barony of Broughton until 1921 at which point it was put up for public sale. The Symington, Broughton and Biggar Railway was opened in 1860 allowing business men to travel daily to Glasgow and Edinburgh resulting in an expansion of the village with new villas being built although the main street has retained its distinct early 19th century form.

When the estate was sold off in 1921 Dassfauld was bought by John Martin who was related to the Provost Martin of Biggar, for use as a summer residence. He installed the two dormer windows in the roof to form bedrooms which distinguished it from the rest of the run of lower cottages in the street.

Formerly listed as part of a long run of cottages, 'Broughton Village, 7 Cottages, Broughton Green House, Etc (See Paper List for Full Details)' List description updated and category changed from B to C(S) in 2011 following reassessment of the street.
