Description

Butterfly Hall is a house with a core dating from the mid-16th century and a later exterior dated 1878. It is two storeys high and features a timber frame encased in red brick, with some areas patterned in white and black bricks, topped with clay pantiles. The building has an internal chimney stack with a plain square red brick shaft and one end stack, and there are five cross windows on each floor.

An enclosed porch, built at the same time as the facade, has a high arched front made of patterned brickwork that conceals a flat roof, and it features a 20th-century plank door. The front displays patterns in black headers between the windows, including St. Andrew's crosses, and below the upper windows is a brick band of several courses patterned in white and black. The west gable has similar but larger black patterns, including the date 1878, while the east gable and back walls are made of plain red brick.

Inside, the layout follows a basic three-cell lobby-entrance form, with a significant amount of the timber frame still visible. The central two-bay ground-floor room has a very heavy chamfered main beam and exceptionally close joists, with the spaces between them being narrower than the width of the joists themselves. At the east end, the upper room has exposed studding and reversed bracing. The roof is inaccessible.
