Cutthorn

Cutthorn is a house, formerly known as Cutthorne Cottages, that dates back to the 16th century, with cladding from the 18th century. It features a timber frame clad with red and blue chequered brick on the ground floor and tile hanging on the first floor, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, standing on a plinth with a moulded bresummer on the first floor, except for the left-hand bay, which returns to the right end elevation. There are stacks at both ends and three flat-roofed dormers.

The house has three two-light wooden casements on each floor, with the central window being smaller. There are single lights to the right end on the first floor and to both left and right on the ground floor. The entrances on the left and right have boarded doors with flat hoods supported by console-outline brackets, and there is a blocked doorway to the centre right. The rear of the building includes a single-storey lean-to outshot with dormers at either end.

Inside, the frame is fully exposed with large scantling and chamfered jowls. The structure consists of two builds, with the left end bay being an addition that features a tenoned purlin roof, while the main range has an earlier staggered purlin roof. Cutthorn is recorded as early as 1572 in the County Archives, and the rear courtyard contains a stone-lined spring basin, which was once a significant water supply for the local area.
