Description
Barratt's Hill Farmhouse is a house built around the late 18th century to early 19th century, with later extensions added in the 19th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a clay plain tile roof with gabled ends and brick dentil eaves. The building has brick gable-end stacks topped with square crenellated clay pots.
The farmhouse has a T-shaped layout, consisting of a two-room front range. The right side contains a hall and kitchen, while the left side has a parlour, with a central stair and entrance hall. At the back, there is a kitchen in a rear wing that includes an integral outshut in the rear-right corner. In the later 19th century, an outbuilding with a loft was added to the gable end of the rear wing, and a trap-house was constructed on the left side.
The exterior is two storeys high and features a symmetrical three-bay northeast front. On the ground floor, there are two 12-pane sash windows, while the first floor has later 19th-century two-light casements with glazing bars. The central entrance has a panelled door with an overlight, and there is a single-storey trap-house on the left. The rear of the house has a gable-ended wing with an outshut on the left and a lower range on the gable end of the wing.
Inside, the farmhouse retains much of its original joinery, including two-panel and six-panel doors, panelled cupboard doors, simple chimneypieces with Victorian grates, and a dog-leg staircase with stick balusters, square newels, and a moulded handrail.
