Description
Butterfield Gap Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that was refronted in the mid-18th century. It is constructed from slobbered squared rubble with stone dressings and features a stone slate roof. The building has a central staircase plan and is two storeys high with a double front. The central entrance has a limewashed 17th-century moulded surround and a decorated lintel, set within a gabled slate porch, and is fitted with a 20th-century door.
On the right side of the ground floor, there is a three-light flat-faced mullioned window, while the left side has a similar window with two lights, along with two upper floor windows that also have two lights. The farmhouse has right-hand gable end and left-hand ridge stacks. At the rear, the upper floor contains two former 17th-century two-light chamfered mullioned windows, although the mullions are now missing.
