Description
Hutton Hall Farmhouse is a manor house, likely built in the late 16th century, with a rear outshut that probably dates from the later 17th century. The structure is made of rubble with cut dressings, and the west elevation is partly rendered. It features a graduated stone slate roof and has an H-plan layout, with a lower central wing and an outshut on the north side.
On the south elevation, there are projecting gabled end bays that rise two stories plus an attic, flanking a two-story, two-bay center. The central section has a renewed door set in an old chamfered surround on the far left, leading into a 20th-century half-glazed porch. To the right on the ground floor, there is a four-light chamfered mullioned window, with single-light chamfered windows at the far right and in the center of the first floor. Other windows are 20th-century casements. A corniced ridge stack is located to the right of center. The left end bay features 20th-century casements, except for a two-light mullioned window in the attic, while the right end bay has restored three-light windows and an old blocked two-light attic window with a straight label. All 20th-century casements are set in 19th-century openings that reuse earlier chamfered jambs, with remnants of original mullioned windows on each side. The gables are adorned with moulded finials.
The left return of the building shows a large projecting stack, with its upper part rebuilt in the 20th century, and three two-light windows, one of which is blocked. The three-bay right return has a central half-glazed door in a chamfered surround, with two- and three-light mullioned windows beneath moulded labels and two-light windows on the first floor, with the central one being renewed.
On the rear elevation, the central gabled wing features an old barred window and a two-light window above it. The right outshut has two small two-light windows and a massive stepped lateral stack behind. A left boarded door, set in an 18th-century stone surround, is located to the right of a shallow projection that has remnants of a narrow transomed window.
Inside, the farmhouse has heavy transverse ceiling beams on the ground and first floors, some of which are supported by corbels. There is an old winder stair at the north end of the west wing, and a bedroom in the wing has a bevelled oak cross set in the ceiling. The principal-rafter roof trusses are visible, and the five-bay roof of the center features re-used cruck blades as principals.
