SK37SW GREEN LANE 1264-0/2/103 (North side) 31/01/67 Range of farm outbuildings to the north and north-west of Cutthorpe Hall (Formerly Listed as: CUTTHORPE Outbuildings at Cutthorpe Hall)

GV II

Farm outbuildings. Early C17 with C18 alterations. Rubble Coal Measures Sandstone, partially quoined, and originally with stone slate roof coverings, now replaced in part with plain and decorative tile, and Welsh slate. The group comprises a parallel pair of single-storey outbuildings with overlofts, the western range having a cross-wing extending further west at its southern end, both ranges divided by a rectangular courtyard, closed at its northern end by a double-pile single-storey entrance shed, and at the southern end by a stone wall which divides the farm courtyard from the grounds of Cutthorpe Hall (qv). The western range has 3 single doorways and a full-height double doorway to its east elevation, together with two C18 two-light flush mullioned windows stacked at its south end, which forms part of the cross-wing extending westwards, and which has further 2-light flush-mullioned windows, and a stone framed doorway on its southern elevation. INTERIOR: the building has a 6-bay roof with C17 collar and tie-beam trusses carrying single side purlins and a diagonally set ridge purlin. The trusses were formerly wind-braced, with a small number of braces surviving. The west elevation of the east range has 5 plain doorways, and 2 ground-floor windows. Doors, where they exist, are plainly boarded. The building is single-storeyed with overlofts, and 5 roof trusses, 2 of which are coupled at the centre of the range, each with their purlins ending at their bearing on the truss. The trusses support single side purlins and diagonally set ridge purlins, and the 2 southern trusses have queen struts with collars. The centre truss has only a collar, and the 2 northern trusses have only queen struts. The purlins rest on oak bearers within the gables. The carpentry is competant, with well-formed splayed scarf joints to purlins and wallplate. Many oak rafters survive. There is a lower single-storey single-bay shed with double boarded doors at the north end of the eastern range. Linking the 2 parallel ranges is a simple single-storey link building, with a double-width opening supported by an oak lintel beam. The range of outbuildings is listed for Group Value.
