Description

Sutton House is a farmhouse dating from around 1600, which was remodelled in the mid-18th century and has had alterations in the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries. The building is constructed of brick, with some timber-framing and brick infill, and features slate roofs with gable-end parapets and kneelers. It has brick stacks at both ends and an additional brick stack at the rear. The house is two storeys high with an attic and has a dentilled eaves cornice.

The facade consists of three main bays plus one additional bay, which is likely a later addition and wider than the others. The windows on the main storeys are all 4-pane 19th-century sashes with basket-arched heads. There is a gabled dormer between the second and third bays, featuring a 12-pane sash window with a semi-circular head. The main entrance, located beneath the dormer, has a six-panelled door with a transom light. Between the third and fourth bays, there are two blocked doorways.

At the rear left, there is a partly timber-framed wing that has four panels from the sill to the wall-plate and a collar and tie-beam truss with five struts below the collar and a V-strut above. The remaining rear elevation of the main range has a lean-to outshut.

Inside, the 18th-century features include an oak dogleg staircase with a moulded handrail and turned balusters in the entrance hall. The kitchen to the east is said to contain some panelling from around 1650. Additionally, a room in the oldest part of the house has moulded oak ceiling beams that divide the space into square panels.
