Hutton Manor

Hutton Manor is a farmhouse dating to 1690, now used as a house. The building is constructed of brick, with a whitewashed exterior, and has a graded slate roof. The original plan was three bays, with a pair of ridge chimney stacks situated between the second and third bays, and a gable stack at the left end. The building is two storeys high. A two-storey gabled porch is located right of centre, featuring a rectangular stone lintel inscribed in relief with the letter "M," which is believed to stand for “Mair,” followed by the date 1690. Above the lintel is a sliding sash window with glazing bars. Most windows on the front wall have been enlarged or altered in the 20th century, and shutters have been added to those on the first floor. However, the hoodmould with label stops above the window to the left of the porch, and the ends of another hoodmould broken by a bay window to the right of the porch, remain original. The left gable wall, where an inglenook alcove has been added, retains remnants of similar hoodmoulds on both floors and at garret level. Rear wall windows have also been altered, though a round-headed stairwell window between the first and second bays, and a small square window in line with the chimney stack at eaves level, may be original. The interior of the second and third bays features back-to-back chimney breasts, both with bressummers. The hearth in the second bay is notably wide and displays evidence of a former fire window in the rear wall, along with salt cupboards on either side of the chimney. Bridging beams are ovolo moulded in the second bay, and chamfered with stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops in the third bay. Service room doors at the lower end of the house have panelled fronts with bolection moulding. Very large smoke hoods are located on the first floor.
