Cutwellwalls, farm and outbuildings. An interesting group of buildings much damaged by an electric storm and wind in 1972. House of two storeys, of large size and stone-built. Southwest front has centre door with new porch and one window on each side. Four windows in upper storey and two end chimneys. Extension on southeast has a higher roof level. Northeast has a centre door with a window to right and two windows in upper storey. Northwest side has a chimney and a window on the left at first floor level. Wide porch lean-to with doorway to house. Extensive stabling and farm buildings are close to the house across a courtyard. An old building wrecked by the storm reveals some cob. A round house is said to have been destroyed. Adjoining the farm courtyard there is a cottage. Mentioned in 1781; house almost certainly of the 18th century period with possibly earlier origins.
