Description
The outbuildings and yard walls located to the north of Hutton Hall farmhouse date from the 16th or early 17th century for the eastern part, while the western part and the yard's west wall are from the 18th century, and the yard's east wall is from the 19th century. The eastern section is constructed of heavy rubble with irregular long quoins, while the western part and the yard walls are made of rubble with some cut dressings. The eastern part has graduated stone slates on the roof, and the western part features pantiles with stone slates at the eaves.
The structure is two storeys high and has an irregular arrangement of three bays on the left and two on the right. The left section includes two boarded doors, one with an external stone stair, a stable door, a 12-pane Yorkshire sash window, and a henhole with a stone shelf for a poultry ladder, along with raised coping on the left gable. The older right section is taller and has a boarded door with a timber lintel, a small window above, and traces of blocked openings. There is an external stair leading to a boarded door, and a pigeon-cote is located on the right return gable.
To the far left, there is a tall flat-coped wall that returns to join the west wing of the Hall, featuring two boarded doors with timber lintels. At the rear of the older section, there are two cart entrances, one of which is blocked, with massive stone lintels.
The east wall of the yard is lower, with roughly-pitched coping and small monolith gate piers; the right pier has an incised '9', while the left pier once displayed the figure '8'. These figures were cut in the 19th century by the household's sons, who had promised to return home "between 8 and 9" each evening.
Inside, the western part of the range contains a room with a brick barrel vault.
