Cutton Farmhouse

Cutton Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with remodelling from the 19th century. It is constructed of cob with a stone plinth, plastered, and features a gabled-end slate roof. Originally, the building had a three-room, cross-passage layout, with the lower end on the left side of the now-blocked passage, and a parlour wing at the rear. The farmhouse has an external rear lateral stack with a brick shaft that heats the lower end, an axial stack backing onto the former passage, and end stacks at both the right-hand end and the parlour wing, the latter being external and made of stone with weatherings for thatch. There is no evidence of smoke-blackening in the structure.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a front elevation with a four-window range. The upper windows are 19th-century two-light designs, while the ground floor features two and three-light windows. There are two entrances; the one on the right has a fielded panelled door, and neither entrance faces the rear entrance to the former passage, which is located immediately to the left of the rear external stack. The rear elevation has four two-light 19th or 20th-century timber casements above, and one two-light and one three-light casement, all with glazing bars. A pentice roof, which is slated and supported by timber uprights, extends between the stack and the parlour wing. The parlour wing has two-light windows, but none on the end wall.

The roof structure consists of four bays above the higher end, with principals that are morticed and side-pegged at the apex and to the collars. The purlins, which are now gone, were formerly trenched. A 19th-century roof extends over the 16th-century roof and along the entire lower end and the adjacent barn. The parlour wing has two principals similar to those in the main roof. All the old timbers are clean and show no signs of smoke-blackening.
