Shute Farmhouse

Shute Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It underwent remodelling and alterations in the 18th century, with a 19th-century extension added. The exterior features painted render over rubblestone, a slate and pantile roof, and has rubblestone stacks at the rear right and left gable ends, as well as a brick stack to the left of centre. The original layout was likely a three-unit through-passage plan that has since been divided into two dwellings, but it is now a single house. The building is two storeys high and has a four-window range, predominantly featuring 19th-century two-light casement windows with small panes. The left end of the house, which is built into the hillside, includes two half-dormers and a door on the left side. The right end, with a slate roof, has a 19th-century gabled porch, a two-light window to the right, and a three-light window to the left.

Inside, the structure has been altered, but there are photographs showing a former open fire and a bread oven located under a central rear lateral stack. Historically, the name "Shute" likely indicates that it was a farm developed on a block of strips or shot at the end of one of the open fields, suggesting it may have originated in the 1400s when demesne land was rented for money and could be held in a block with other strips.
