Butt House

Butt House is a detached house dating from around 1820. It is constructed of ashlar limestone with a stone slate roof. The main block is a compact, symmetrical design with a rear extension forming a "T" shape. The house has two-and-a-half storeys and three windows on the front elevation. The first-floor windows are sash windows without glazing bars, set within plat-band architraves and feature blind lunettes topped with keystones at the eaves. The central section is a Palladian window with four pilasters, the central pair being reeded and with flared bases between a cill band and a string. A four-panel door is located centrally, beneath a decorative wrought iron fanlight within a scalloped arched head and approached by a single semicircular step. Other external features include a plinth, string course, and cill band; the string course returns to the gable facing the street and incorporates a two-light chamfered mullion casement window in the attic. Gable stacks are present. The rear wing, also with a stone slate roof, has 20th-century aluminium windows. A left-hand extension is not considered to be of special architectural or historic interest. The interior of the house has not been inspected. The building has group value.
