Description
This is a house located at 11 The Butts, dating from the mid-18th century. The building features varied courses of squared rubble, which includes ferruginous sandstone and millstone grit, with millstone quoins on the lower courses and the first floor on the left side. It has a stone-flagged roof and stands two storeys high with one wide bay. There is a step leading up to a four-panel door with a two-pane overlight, which is situated under a flat stone lintel on the left. The house has sixteen-pane sash windows that also have flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills. The chimney at the right end is made of ashlar and features a thin string and octagonal yellow pots. The right return of the building has a first-floor horizontal sliding sash window.
Adjoining the house is a garden wall that extends to the river bank, which bounds the garden of Butts House. This wall is tall and features coping made of rounded vertical stones, flat stone lintels above a low blocked door and a small blocked window, as well as a similar lintel above the door leading to the garden of Butts House.
