Description

The stable block to the north of Butts Grange is a building dating from 1790, which was remodeled or rebuilt in the early to mid-19th century and converted into a dwelling in 1990. It is constructed of regularly coursed squared Coal Measures Sandstone with ashlar dressings, featuring coped gables with plain kneelers and a concrete tile roof.

The south-east elevation is two stories high and has five bays, with five ground-floor openings. The outermost doors are double openings; the south-west end has a massive lintel and a heavily quoined surround, while the north-east end features an ashlar segmental arch with voussoirs and a keyblock, both with vertically planked doors. There are two single doorways in the inner bays, each with semicircular arched heads, key blocks, and flush jambs; one has a semicircular glazed fanlight, while the other is infilled with timber boarding and vents. A central doorway also has a massive lintel and a quoined surround.

On the first floor, there are four flush-mullioned two-light windows with fixed lights and glazing bars, some of which have top-hung vents. At the center, there is a gabled dormer dovecote with coped gables and ashlar facing at the apex, featuring a diagonally set four-paned square window above two levels of projecting perches with semicircular landing platforms, leading to five entry holes at each level.

The north-west elevation has a central doorway with a lintel that bears the date 1790 in a diamond surround, flanked by two lean-to structures, with a flagged threshold between. At the south-west end, there is a flight of stone steps leading to a first-floor doorway. The south-west gable has a blocked first-floor taking-in doorway with a quoined surround, now filled with masonry.
