Description
Butstone Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 19th century. It features rendered cob and rubble walls and has a gable-ended slate roof. The building has projecting rendered gable-end stacks with brick shafts, and there is a brick stack at the right-hand end of the rear outshut. The plan consists of a two-room layout, likely with an integral rear outshut, where the right-hand room is heated and serves functional purposes. The staircase rises from a central passageway between the two front rooms, with the left-hand room serving as the kitchen and the right-hand room as the parlour.
The exterior is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window front with early 19th-century 16-pane sash windows. At the centre, there is a contemporary latticed wooden porch that features a moulded cornice above the doorhood and a six-panel door behind it.
Inside, the farmhouse retains fairly complete joinery, including six-panel doors and a staircase with a column newel and stick balusters. The chimneypiece in the parlour is likely original and features a Regency basket grate.
