Description
Butts House is a house dating to approximately 1760, with later 19th-century additions. It is built of sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, some in millstone grit, and has quoins. The roof is stone-flagged, with a Welsh slate covering on the left bay. The house is two storeys and originally four bays, though the left bay was added later and is taller. The right-hand side features a painted door with a curved top to the surround, and six glazed panels. A large sash window with glazing bars is centrally placed in the three-bay block, flanked by first-floor sash windows with glazing bars, all with irregular flat stone sills. One pane of the left-hand sash window is hinged at the top. Two small square ground-floor windows are located to the left, each with a flat stone lintel. The left bay has a wood-mullioned cross window on the ground floor, and narrow paired sashes on the first floor, also under flat stone lintels and with projecting stone sills. Large ashlar-corniced end chimneys rise from the roof. The rear elevation has three large first-floor windows with 20 panes each. Inside, the visible staircase has a ramped handrail supported on tapered columns with vase details.
