Description
Butleigh House, originally built as a vicarage, is now a house dating from the mid-19th century on an earlier site, designed by E.B. Lamb for Henry Neville Grenville. The building features coursed and squared rubble with freestone dressings, a tile roof, and brick ridge stacks on rubble bases, except for a projecting ashlar stack to the right supported by corbels, and has coped verges. It has an irregular plan in the Tudor style, with two storeys and an attic, comprising two central bays under irregular front-facing gables, and two bays to the left with gabled dormers. The windows are 2 and 3-light chamfered stone-mullioned types. The central door opening is in a 16th-century style pointed arch with a chamfered dressed stone surround and a ribbed door. To the left, there is a single-storey kitchen wing that matches the main building's style, featuring a sash window with glazing bars. Adjacent to the left of the frontage is a wall made of coursed rubble, which has a broad segmental-arch gateway that encloses a carriage yard with a barn and coach house.
