Description
Lindum Cottage, also known as Butterhouse, is a house that has been converted into two cottages. It dates from the mid-18th century with later additions. The building is constructed from squared rubble and hammer-dressed watershot stone, topped with a graduated stone slate roof. It features a two-unit gable-entrance plan that was originally two storeys high, but a workshop was added as a second floor in the late 18th century. The structure has quoins on both the ground and first floors.
The ground floor has windows with three, four, and two lights, with later windows inserted between them. The first floor has three windows, extended to five lights, and one four-light window. All windows have double-chamfered cavetto-moulded mullions. Additionally, there is a ten-light recessed flat-faced stone mullion window for the workshop. The gables include two-light windows and lean-to extensions, and there are gable chimney stacks.
