Description

Butlers Farm is a pair of cottages that were later converted into a farmhouse, likely built in the mid-18th century and altered over time. The structure is made of flint with brick dressings and has a plain tile roof. It features external brick end stacks with clay pots, with the right-hand stack being a late 20th-century rebuild. The building has two bays and a plinth with a stepped brick band at the top, along with brick quoins at the angles and openings, a central vertical strip, and an eaves band.

The left bay includes a board door to the left of a three-light window, both of which have segmental brick arches and bands above. The right bay has a similar window, but with an original flat brick arch, and above it, there is a small bricked-up former window opening flanked by the ends of tie-bars. The brick gabled attic dormers rise from the eaves, with a two-light dormer on the left and a three-light dormer on the right. There is also a late 20th-century added brick outshut to the right.

At the rear, there is an original central outshut under a catslide roof, featuring a three-light window on the left and a one-light window on the right. The left return has a brick gable above a tile offset, supported by rendered timber posts that hold a collar. The interior has not been inspected, but the left side is noted to have a moulded vertical plank door at the bottom of a boxed-in stair. The building is reported to have originally been constructed as a pair of bogers cottages and was in a state of disrepair at the time of inspection.
