Description

Butt Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid-18th century, with an earlier 17th-century core. It features a lias stone sleeper wall and brick walls laid in Flemish bond, displaying a regular pattern of burnt headers. There is a brick plat-band between the ground and first floors, and the roof is thatched, hipped on the left side and gabled on the right. The building has three brick stacks located just in from the hip apex, at the right brick end, and at the right-hand gable end. The east end of the elevation is made of coursed stone ashlar rather than brick. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has six windows, which are wooden casements with two and three lights, complete with glazing bars, wooden lintels, and cills. There are two gauged brick arches on the left side. The front door, located to the right of centre, is a 20th-century addition, accompanied by a 20th-century concrete porch topped with a gabled slate roof. Inside, the left-hand and middle stacks feature large open fireplaces with brick jambs and chamfered wood lintels above. The ceiling beams are mid-chamfered.
