Description
Butts Farmhouse, now a house, dates to the early 18th century. It is constructed of red and grey brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a plain tile roof. The property has two storeys and a plat band, which is interrupted at the ends and above the doorway. A steeply-pitched hipped roof is topped by a central multiflue brick stack on the front slope. The window arrangement is irregular, with three sash windows; one four-pane sash set in from each end, and one two-pane sash located higher up towards the centre. There are also two three-light casements with segmental heads on the ground floor. Blocked ground and first-floor windows are visible towards each end of the building. A central boarded door sits beneath the stack. A two-storey rear wing was added to the left around 1900, another to the right around 1965, and a lean-to by 1986. The interior, only partially inspected, features exposed cross and axial beams on the ground floor, along with brick fireplaces and wooden bressumers on either side of the central stack.
