Barbot Hall Farmhouse

Barbot Hall Farmhouse is a manor house that dates back to the 16th or 17th century, with a right cross-wing and part of the main range rebuilt in the late 18th or early 19th century, along with later alterations in the 19th century. The building features some timber framing and is finished with pebble-dash and coursed, dressed sandstone, topped with stone slate and Welsh slate roofs. It is designed in an H-plan and has two storeys with a partial cellar, comprising 1:3:1 bays.

The main range includes a central doorway with a double door set in a 19th-century surround that has chamfered jambs, an arched lintel, and a hoodmould. Flanking the doorway are two-light mullioned windows with leaded lights from the 19th century and chamfered surrounds. Above the door is a small window with margin-light glazing, although its surround is obscured. The flanking windows match those on the ground floor. A renewed brick ridge stack is located above the door.

To the left, the cross-wing has a door inserted in the left light of a two-light window, while the right light retains a casement. There is a dripmould beneath the two-light window on the first floor, similar to that of the main range, and the cross-wing has a hipped roof with a lower ridge. The right cross-wing displays exposed wall stone, with a ground-floor sash window featuring glazing bars, a projecting sill, and a wedge lintel. The first floor has an unequally-hung nine-pane sash window, and this section also has a hipped roof with a brick ridge stack.

Inside, the vaulted cellar beneath the right cross-wing retains a double-chamfered mullioned window at the rear. Wall posts are visible behind wallpaper in the centre of the left cross-wing and in the rear first-floor corridor of the main range, indicating substantial timber framing that is likely concealed. Later features include an 18th-century wall cupboard near the foot of the old staircase in the left cross-wing, elliptically-arched wall recesses in the right cross-wing, early 19th-century fireplaces, and an elegant staircase with a slender balustrade and clustered-baluster newel post in the adjacent part of the main range. The roof structure of the left cross-wing appears to have been heightened, while the main-range roof has not been inspected, although photographs in the owner's possession suggest possible remains of a smokehood.
