Butterley Heyes

Butterley Hayes is an early 17th-century farmhouse, with later additions. It is timber framed with brick infill and a tile roof. The building has a two-storey, attic plan and an H-shaped layout with added wings.

The front of the farmhouse features gabled projecting wings on each side. The right wing has six cells by four of small timber framing with angle braces; it has 3-light casement windows to both ground and first floors, and a single-light attic window within a timber-framed gable. The left wing is similar, but with only one angle brace on the right side, and a 4-light ground floor window on the left. To the left of the ground floor is a later canted bay window with a catslide roof that connects to the roof of the central recessed range, partially overlapping it. The bay window is brick, painted to simulate timber framing. It contains a central 3-light window and a 6-panel C19 door accompanied by a 3-light C19 casement window. The first floor has a 2-light and a 3-light casement window. A chimney stack is situated to the left of the centre of the ridge. A service wing, also painted to simulate timber framing, is to the left. The right side has a rectangular brick chimney breast with an offset and two diamond-shaped flues. To the left of this is a section with three cells by four of small timber framing, and to the right is a section with four cells by four, both with angle braces.

The rear elevation has two gabled C19 additions painted white on the right, a central recessed portion with five cells by four of small timber framing (two rows of ground floor cells are brick, painted to simulate framing), and a projecting gabled wing with six cells by four of small timber framing, containing a 2-light window, a cross window at ground floor level, and a 3-light casement window to the first floor.

Inside, the parlour features an inglenook fireplace with an ovolo-moulded bressumer, and massive ovolo-moulded and chamfered ceiling beams. One ground floor room contains two ovolo-moulded ceiling beams with stepped tongue stops, along with run-through panelling, which may have been brought from elsewhere. A twelve-panel door also features run-through panelling. The first floor has plank doors with original 17th-century strap hinges and wooden latches. Further chamfered ceiling beams with stepped tongue stops are present on the first floor.
