Barmpton Hall

Barmpton Hall is a late 18th-century farmhouse with an early 19th-century addition. The building is constructed of brick, with the right section displaying an irregular bond and the added left section in a Flemish bond. It has a pantiled roof and old brick chimney stacks with renewed tops. The house is arranged in an L-shape, with the added section projecting beyond the rear of the original block.

The front of the house, facing the garden, is two storeys high and consists of three bays on the left and three bays on the right, marked by a vertical joint between the original and additional sections. A wide, open-pedimented doorcase is located to the left of this joint, featuring a six-panel door and a fanlight with intersecting tracery. The windows are 12-pane sashes set beneath rubbed-brick flat arches. The roof is steeply pitched, hipped on the left side, with a coped gable and shaped kneeler on the right. Stacks are located at the right end and along the ridge. A back door in the original block retains 18th-century ironwork. A 16-pane round-arched stair window is visible on the rear of the added section. The interior was refitted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Later 20th-century additions to the rear are not of architectural or historic interest.

Barmpton Hall was the home of Robert Colling (1749-1820), a noted cattle breeder who is renowned for breeding the White Heifer.
