Butler'S Court Farmhouse

Butler's Court Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the early 18th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century, including a datestone from 1849, and further changes in the late 19th and mid-20th centuries. The building features Flemish bond and English garden wall bond brickwork, with the latter representing two different periods, and has stone slate on the tall block facing the garden, while the rest of the roofs are tiled.

The garden front has three windows and is three stories high, with a depth of two rooms, reducing to a single bay at the rear, which is 16 stories high on the right and has a two-story wing on the left. The reddish Flemish bond brickwork transitions to browner English garden wall bond just below the heads of the first-floor windows. The front is nearly symmetrical as of 1987.

On the left side, there is a 16-pane sash window with a flat, rubbed-brick arch, and to the left of this is an area of brown brick leading to a six-panel door, which is marked as double doors with flush bottom panels and sidelights, all under a single-storey gabled porch. The porch has brick sill walls on the sides and a two-bay open timber structure above with scalloped barge boards. A similar window is found on the right side.

The first floor has 16-pane sash windows on each side, similar to those below, with a 12-pane window in the center and a jamb from an earlier window to the left of the left window. The second-floor windows mirror the first but lack lintels, and there are dentil eaves. There are two external chimneys on the right return, with paired diamond-set stacks on the rear in the left bay.

To the right of the front is a single-bay addition from the mid-20th century. The long wing at the rear on the left has a stone plinth and features two stone lancet windows on the ground floor, with paired windows above and a datestone from 1849 in the apex. The stone windows are said to have been reused from a demolished chapel. Originally, the garden front was two stories high, with the upper floor added in the early 19th century and the windows altered. The fourth bay and a two-story bay beyond were demolished in the 1960s and replaced by a single-bay, one-and-a-half-story wing.
