Description

Netherbutton is a later 19th-century single-storey farm steading that has undergone some alterations and additions. It features a long rectangular plan with six bays and lean-to additions at the rear. The exterior is harled, with concrete block cills, and there are outbuildings to the east and west.

On the northwest elevation, which is the principal facade, there is a window in a flat-roofed square-plan entrance porch located in the bay to the right of the center. To the right of the porch is a timber door, and there is a window in the outer right bay. Each bay to the left also contains a window, with a boarded door in the penultimate left bay and another window in the outer left bay.

The southeast elevation, or rear, features a lean-to addition that spans the outer left bays, with a window in each bay. There is also a window in the left return and a regularly fenestrated projection to the outer right, which has a wallhead stack on the right return.

The windows are predominantly 4-pane timber sash and case, with evenly spaced small rooflights on the north-south pitch. The roof is covered with graded Caithness stone tiles, while the rear additions have corrugated-iron roofs. The building has a stone ridge, concrete skews, and harled, coped gablehead and ridge stacks.

The interior was not seen in 1997.

The boundary walls consist of a squared, roughly coursed rubble wall along the northwest boundary, with square-plan rubble piers at the north end topped with concrete pyramidal caps.

There are also outbuildings, including a single-storey, 2-bay rectangular-plan asymmetrical structure with ball-finialled gables located to the west of the steading. This outbuilding has a window in the left bay and a boarded door to the right, with a Welsh purple slate roof and a stone ridge. Additionally, there is a larger ball-finialled coursed rubble outbuilding to the southeast of the steading, which has extensive later additions.
