Smithy, Smiddy Cottage, Hutton

Smiddy Cottage in Hutton is likely an early 19th-century building with later additions and alterations. It is a symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay house with a rectangular plan, and it has a single-storey, three-bay smithy range attached to the left. The house features painted harl with painted margins and projecting cills, while the smithy is constructed from tooled sandstone rubble with tooled quoins and droved long and short surrounds around the openings.

On the west elevation, the house is to the right and has a modern timber panelled door at the center of the ground floor, topped by a letterbox fanlight. There are single windows flanking the entrance on the ground floor and squat single windows aligned above. The former smithy is attached to the left, featuring a boarded timber door to the right and single openings to the left. There is a lean-to addition on the outer left.

The east elevation was not visible in 1999. The windows throughout the building have 6- and 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case style. The house has a grey slate roof with stone-coped skews and corniced, brick-built apex stacks with circular cans. The smithy has a steeper pitched pantile roof with a grey slate easing course and a brick-built apex stack.

The interior was not seen in 1999. The site is partially enclosed by rubble boundary walls.
