Hutcherton Farmhouse

Hutcherton Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is constructed from rendered stone and cob, with slate roofs featuring gable ends on the main range and a hipped roof on the front projection. There is a brick stack at the left end, a rubble stack with offsets at the right gable end, and a lateral hall stack at the rear.

The farmhouse has undergone three main phases of development. The original structure appears to have a through-passage plan with single rooms on each side, and the hall on the right is heated by a rear lateral stack. The significant thickness of the wall between the hall and the adjoining room suggests that the entire wing was added rather than being an extension of an inner room in an original three-room plan. In the late 18th century or early 19th century, a two-storey dairy wing was added at a right angle to the rear, partially enclosing the hall stack and blocking off the rear through-passage doorway.

The farmhouse has two storeys and a three-window range of three-light casements above a slated porch, which features a half-glazed door flanked by three-light casements. The wing to the right has a slated porch with a two-light window to the left. There is a former granary at the end with external stone steps leading to the rear side. The rear of the wing and the main range primarily feature 19th-century two and three-light casements. The dairy extension, which has an apple-loft above, is topped with a corrugated iron roof and includes two two-light casements on each floor on the east side and a single window on the west side. A lean-to at the left gable end of the main range, which was formerly lofted over for combining a pig and henhouse, is now used as a store shed.

Inside, there is a rough chamfered beam in the hall, but otherwise, the interior and roof structure have been altered. The dairy fittings remain intact in the rear extension.
