Description
Suttons Farmhouse is a 17th-century, two-storey house with a square plan. It features timber framing and consists of two parallel ranges, each topped with ridged and hipped roofs covered in peg tiles. The elevations are pebble-dashed, and there are four red brick chimney stacks, two at each end of the building. A 19th-century porch, which is slate clad, is present at the front, along with three pairs of two-pane sash windows on the first storey in exposed boxes, and one sash window on each side of the front door.
