Description
Barrow Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from 1763, as indicated by the inscription "IB 1763" on a newel post. It is constructed of English garden wall bond brick and features a 20th-century tile roof. The building has a double-depth central-staircase plan and stands three storeys tall. Originally, there was a baffle entry on the left side, but the entrance is now located in the right gable. The front elevation has two bays and is three storeys high, with a rendered plinth and two replaced five-light casement windows on each floor, all topped with flat brick arches. Gable chimney stacks are present, and there is a four-panel door with an overlight in the right gable end. Some side windows have been blocked, and one features a brick hoodmould. The rear wall, along with much of the front and left sides, has been rebuilt in the 19th or 20th century.
Inside, the principal rooms have ovolo-moulded floor beams with ogee stops. There is an inglenook fireplace with a massive curved ovolo-moulded bressumer beam. The staircase is a dogleg design with a roll-moulded handrail, closed string, a pulvinated frieze, and a plain rectangular newel post dated at the half-landing.
