Range Of Farm Outbuildings To The North And North West Of Cutthorpe Hall

A range of farm outbuildings, dating from the early 17th century with alterations in the 18th century. The buildings are constructed of rubble Coal Measures sandstone, partially quoined, and were originally roofed with stone slate. Some roof coverings have been replaced with plain and decorative tile, and Welsh slate. The complex consists of a pair of parallel, single-storey outbuildings with overlofts, linked by a single-storey link building, and arranged around a rectangular courtyard. A cross-wing extends westward from the southern end of the western range. A double-pile, single-storey entrance shed closes the northern end of the courtyard, while a stone wall at the southern end separates the farm courtyard from the grounds of Cutthorpe Hall.

The west elevation of the east range has five plain doorways and two ground-floor windows, while the east elevation of the western range has three single doorways and a full-height double doorway. The south end of the western range, which forms part of the cross-wing, features two 18th-century, two-light flush mullioned windows, along with a stone-framed doorway on its southern elevation. Further two-light flush-mullioned windows are also found on the southern elevation.

The interior of the western range has a six-bay roof with 17th-century collar and tie-beam trusses carrying single side purlins and a diagonally set ridge purlin. The trusses were formerly wind-braced, with some braces remaining. Purlins rest on oak bearers within the gables. The carpentry includes well-formed splayed scarf joints to purlins and wallplate. Many oak rafters survive. The two southern trusses have queen struts with collars, the central truss has only a collar, and the two northern trusses have only queen struts. A lower, single-storey, single-bay shed with double boarded doors is located at the north end of the eastern range. The range of outbuildings is listed for Group Value.
