CULLOMPTON
SS 90 NE
4/56 East Butterleigh House
-
GV II

Large farmhouse. Mid C19, almost certainly retaining the core of an older house,
with late C19 and C20 alterations and extensions. Cob and stone mix, stone plinth,
plastered, under gabled-end slate roof. The house comprises visually of 2
components, a substantial 5-window range to the left, mid C19 with 2 late C19 canted
2-storey bay windows, but which probably incorporates the former inner room of an
earlier 3-room, cross passage plan house, the hall and lower-end of which form the
second of the 2 components, to the right-hand side, under a much lower roof ridge. 2
storeys throughout.
Fronts: (1) the symmetrical 5-window range, the outer windows, and the centre upper
storey window, 16-pane hornless sashes with moulded architraves; the canted bays with
1:1:1 2-paned horned sashes, with pilasters under capitals to all angles; between the
bays is a glass-roofed veranda with twisted iron posts and decorated spandrels;
heavily moulded gutter box to whole, with remains of crested ridge tiles. 2 axial
and 1 rear stack, brick shafts. (2) the right-hand component, also a 5-window range,
asymmetrical, barred casement windows to the left-hand side of the doorway bay which
projects slightly under a catslide roof, 12-pane hornless sash windows to the right.
The doorway possibly marks the position of the former corss passage. 2 rear lateral
stacks, brick shafts. The rear of the building is completely masked by a C20 2-
storey extension. East Butterleigh House apparently contains no ancient internal
features, but stands on the north side of an attractive early-C19 farmstead, and is
included for group value. Interior not inspected.
