Description
Buttyfold Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 18th century, with alterations made in the late 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of coursed dressed rubble and features a low-pitched tile roof with a broad soffit and ashlar end stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan, consisting of a main block and a smaller lower attached down-house wing.
The farmhouse is two storeys tall with an attic and has a three-window front. It includes cavetto moulded strings at the window head levels and chamfered reveals for what were once mullioned windows, now replaced with 20th-century sidelight casements. The roof features late 19th-century gabled dormers with finials. There is a gabled mid-19th-century porch with verge parapets on shaped kneelers and a finial, which has a central 20th-century boarded double door and a blind plaque above it.
Attached to the west angle of the house is a lower gabled projecting wing that has an end stack. The fenestration on this wing is positioned flanking the stack at the apex and to the right on the ground floor. It features a heavy 17th-century-style lintel above the door leading into the down-house's south return. This lower wing was likely built as a farm-worker's kitchen, separate from the main house. The rear of the farmhouse has been similarly altered, with a central circular light in the attic storey.
