Description

Barton’s Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dated 1665 on the porch in 20th-century lettering, and has been altered over time. It features white-painted render on brick and a slate roof. The building has a two-unit baffle-entry plan, with a late 19th or 20th-century wing added to the right-hand end. It is two storeys high with two windows, a plinth, a single-storey gabled porch, and two three-light casement windows on each floor. A ridge chimney is aligned with the porch, and there is a gabled wing to the right. The rear of the building has been altered. Inside, the second bay contains an inglenook with a bressummer and one lateral beam, while the first bay is axially partitioned with a chamfered beam in the front room; otherwise, the interior has been altered.

Local climate

Barton's Farmhouse sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,160 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 89% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
