Sutton Farmhouse

Sutton Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 15th or 16th century, with later alterations particularly in the early 19th and 20th centuries. The building is roughcast with a steep-pitched roof made of pantiles and triple-Roman tiles, and it features brick stacks. It is designed as an open-hall house, with a subsequently floored wing at a right angle to the east end, a 19th-century range attached to the south, and a dairy at the east end. The structure has a single storey and attic, as well as two storeys, and displays very irregular fenestration; most windows and doors are late 20th-century aluminium. The interior is significant, featuring a virtually complete medieval roof with windbracing and smoke blackening, large chamfered and stopped ceiling beams on the ground floor, and some early 19th-century elements such as a glazed cupboard, panelled doors, and a staircase. The east end includes a massive blocked fireplace that has a smoking chamber.
