Description
Sutton is a two-unit house dating from the 17th century, featuring one-and-a-half storeys and a large 20th-century rear wing. The building is constructed of rubble stone beneath a slate roof, with the rear section rendered. It has a masonry stack at the southern end and a ridge stack located left of center. A former stack at the northern end has been removed. The front of the house faces east and includes a late 20th-century gabled porch to the left of center.
The entrance features a chamfered stone Tudor-arched doorway with diagonal-cut stops, which may have been re-set from another location. To the right of the entrance is a 3-light window with sunk-chamfered Sutton stone mullions, jambs, sills, and head, all under a hoodmould. This window is the only surviving 17th-century window in the house. The other windows are from the 19th century, designed in a similar style but made of softer stone. There is a 2-light window to the left of the porch and another window cutting through the eaves to the right of center. Two gabled half-dormers, each containing 2-light windows, are located towards each end of the roof.
The southern gable end features a small top-hung window in a similar 19th-century stone surround, offset to the left in the upper storey, with a 20th-century multi-pane window below. The stack on this end is corbelled. The front wall of the 20th-century rear wing has three gabled half-dormers, while the northern gable end has no openings. The rear wall of the main range has a battered plinth.
Inside, the 17th-century hall contains a large dressed stone fireplace at the southern end, which lacks a lintel. To the right of the fireplace are the cross-corner stone fireplace stairs, accessed through a chamfered Tudor-arched stone doorway with diagonal-cut stops. To the left of the fireplace is the entrance into the hall, which also has a chamfered Tudor-arched stone doorway, although this has been heightened. The hall features three cross beams with filleted cut stops, and the beam above the fireplace is supported on corbels.
The room to the south of the hall has a narrow chamfered spine beam with cut stops and a blocked fireplace in the southern wall. The main staircase is located in the 20th-century rear wing, which also contains the kitchen. Wooden shutters are present on the windows.
