Butterwick House

This is a house, likely originating in the 18th century, but rebuilt in 1833 for Captain William Sowden Collinson, with alterations and additions made in the 1920s. The building is constructed of brick, which is stuccoed to the front, left return, and rear, with incised detailing to imitate ashlar. The right return is pebbledashed, and the building is dressed with sandstone. The roof is covered in concrete tiles.

The house is arranged in a T-shape, featuring a two-room central entrance hall on the west front and a two-room rear wing with outshuts and 20th-century extensions on either side. It is two stories high and has a symmetrical three-bay facade. A plinth runs along the base, and the side bays project forward. The entrance is marked by a Doric doorcase, with twin pilasters supporting an entablature with a moulded cornice and hood. A modern, part-glazed panelled door sits within the doorcase, above a step, with margin lights in the reveal. French windows flank the entrance, also with margin lights and architraves with entablatures and hoods. The left and right angles have a frieze and cornice at first-floor level, with the first floor stepped back above. First-floor windows are two-light casements with margin lights in reveals and architraves and projecting sills on moulded brackets. A stepped frieze and moulded corniced gutter run along the top of the frontage. Rainwater heads located at the angles are dated 1833. The roof is hipped, with side wall stacks featuring plinths and moulded cornices.

The left return has angle pilasters to the ground floor, supporting a moulded ashlar first-floor string course. Pairs of blind window panels are situated on each floor, with sills. The right return has 20th-century windows. The rear wing, overlooking the River Trent, features a full-height canted bay with a moulded stone first-floor balcony supported by moulded brackets, with modern railings and glazing to the original window, which retains a moulded cornice and a modillioned gutter.

The interior includes an open-well staircase with a ramped, moulded handrail, plain stick balusters, turned newels and profiled cheek-pieces. Moulded cornices adorn the hall and main rooms, with a deep, coved cornice in a first-floor rear room. A round arch with a fluted soffit leads to a first-floor passage. Six-fielded-panel and six-beaded-panel doors are set within architraves throughout, and panelled window shutters are present in the front range.
