Description
Barningham House is a house that likely dates from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th century when an adjacent barn was incorporated and a rear outshut was added. The bay windows were added in the later 19th century. The east part of the house is built of rubble, while the west part, which was the former barn, features coursed rubble. The outshut is made of squared rubble, and the roof is covered with pantiles, with stone slates at the eaves on the east part and graduated stone slates on the west part.
On the south elevation, the right part of the house has two storeys and two wide bays. It features canted, flat-topped 19th-century bay windows with 4-pane sashes, and similar sashes above in stone surrounds. The roof is steeply pitched with coped gables on moulded kneelers and end stacks. The right return displays an older projecting stack that has been truncated at the first-floor level. The slightly lower left part also has two storeys and two bays, with a renewed door in a block surround at the right end. The left side has 4-pane sashes in tooled stone surrounds on both floors, a coped left gable on moulded kneelers, and stacks at the ridge and left end. The left return shows a set-back with three courses of projecting through stones and the outline of a steeply-pitched gable from the original heather-thatched barn.
The rear elevation features a boarded door and two 4-pane sashes in the house outshut. In the west part, there is a blocked cross-passage doorway with a 4-pane sash inserted. The interior has not been seen. An adjacent outbuilding to the north-west is not of special interest.
