Buttress House

Buttress House is a detached house dating from the 17th and late 18th centuries. The earlier part of the house is constructed of limestone rubble with dressed stone quoins, while the later addition is of coursed squared and dressed limestone. Both ranges have stone slate roofs, and one ashlar stack, which has been restored in brick and with dressed quoins, is present. The 18th century range runs parallel to the road, while the 17th century range is set at an angle to it. The north gable end of the earlier range was demolished in the 19th century to make way for a railway.

The 18th century range is two storeys high and has two and three-light stone mullioned casement windows to the west front. The ground floor of the east front has two-light casements, and there is a single two-light eaves dormer above. The roadside front of the 18th century range has three windows, lit by two-light wooden casements with glazing bars within dressed stone surrounds. A former central doorway has been blocked, with a window inserted in its place. A two-light stone mullioned casement is located in the left gable end. At the rear, there are one two-light and one three-light stone mullioned casements. A 20th century plank door has been inserted in the right gable end.

The 17th century range has an axial stack. The 18th century range has gable-end stacks. The interior was not inspected. The gable end of the early range was in the process of reconstruction at the time of resurvey in September 1986.
