Description

Toot Hill End is a late 17th-century laithehouse with an attached barn that was refronted in the late 18th century. The structure is built of rubble brought to course, with the southeast front of the barn made from coursed, squared stone, and both sections feature stone slate roofs.

The house has a through-passage and is two storeys high with three bays. The two bays on the left have paired cross-wings with quoins. The third bay on the right includes a chamfered, quoined, Tudor-arched doorway with sunk spandrels, which has a 20th-century part-glazed door. To the left of this doorway is a quoined window with a single-light window above. The first two bays have double-chamfered mullion windows: bay one has a five-light window and a four-light window above, along with a smaller blocked two-light window on the right; bay two has a six-light window (with three mullions removed) and a four-light window above. The front features a gutter spout in the valley, chamfered kneelers, and coping, with part-broken finials, one of which has the raised letter 'H'. There are renewed stacks on the right of bay two and at the ridge on the left of bay three.

The barn, located on the right, has quoins and a central round-arched doorway with quoins, voussoirs, and a dropped triple keystone, along with a narrow rectangular opening above. To the left of the barn are two blind windows that were originally two and three lights, with a former three-light window above flanked by six pigeon-holes with ledges.

At the rear of the house, the left bay features a Tudor-arched, chamfered, quoined doorway with a plain stone surround window to its right on both floors, and plain gutter brackets. Each cross-wing is masked by an added gabled shelter and has a four-light window (with mullions removed from the right wing) and a four-light flat-faced mullion window above. The right wing also has a plain stone surround doorway with tie-stones. The barn's masonry continues from the house, indicating that both were originally built together. There is an opposed cart-entry with a doorway on the left and gutter brackets that continue from the house. The left return of the house shows two former two-light windows and a chamfered single light on the ground floor.
