East Butterleigh House

East Butterleigh House is a large farmhouse dating from the mid-19th century, likely incorporating elements of an older structure, with later 19th and 20th-century alterations and extensions. It is built from a mix of cob and stone, featuring a stone plinth and plastered walls, all under a gabled slate roof. The house visually consists of two main parts: on the left, there is a substantial five-window range from the mid-19th century, which includes two late 19th-century canted two-storey bay windows. This section likely incorporates the former inner room of an earlier three-room, cross passage plan house. The right-hand side forms the second component, which has a much lower roof ridge and includes the hall and lower end of the original house.

The front of the house features a symmetrical five-window range, with the outer windows and the central upper storey window being 16-pane hornless sashes with moulded architraves. The canted bays have one-over-one, two-paned horned sashes, with pilasters under capitals at all corners. Between the bays is a glass-roofed veranda supported by twisted iron posts and decorated spandrels, and the entire structure has a heavily moulded gutter box with remnants of crested ridge tiles. There are two axial and one rear brick chimney stacks.

The right-hand component also has a five-window range but is asymmetrical, featuring barred casement windows to the left of the doorway bay, which projects slightly under a catslide roof, and 12-pane hornless sash windows to the right. The doorway may indicate the position of the former cross passage. This section has two rear lateral brick chimney stacks. The rear of the building is obscured by a 20th-century two-storey extension. Although East Butterleigh House does not contain any ancient internal features, it is situated on the north side of an attractive early 19th-century farmstead and is included for its group value. The interior has not been inspected.
