Barnacle Hall

Barnacle Hall is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in 1628 and 1745. It features a timber frame with brick infill, and the front is constructed of regularly coursed limestone. The building has a double-span roof, primarily covered with plain tiles, and is topped with brick ridge stacks. The layout includes a through-passage with a three-span plan, and it stands two storeys high with an attic, presenting a symmetrical three-window range.

The front facade showcases a moulded basket arch doorway that contains an old studded door with four vertical panels. Above the door, a moulded string course breaks, and there are low three-light and a central two-light recessed ovolo-moulded mullioned windows. A moulded string course runs above the first floor, leading to a very high parapet with a central finial, which likely originally featured twin gables with a parapet built up between them. Moulded kneelers with finials are present on both sides. A large moulded painted stone panel with a cornice displays the inscription "DP 1745" within a horizontally-set oval, accompanied by four corner roundels.

The irregular left return side has stone at the right corner and the ground-floor left corner. This side also has a three-window range, with a string course at the left corner. A gabled section to the left of centre includes a single attic light, while a 20th-century five-light window occupies the ground floor. Paired two-light casements are found on the first floor, and 19th-century two-light casements are used throughout, featuring horizontal glazing bars. A two-light mullioned cellar window is located on the right side. The right return side displays a datestone from 1628 on the first floor to the left, with a two-window range and 20th-century four-light casements. The rear of the building has been largely rebuilt in 19th-century brick and features three gables.

Inside, the hall reveals exposed framing and beams. The room on the left contains an ogee stop-chamfered beam, and the fireplace is adorned with a moulded architrave. A straight-flight staircase situated between the walls has a landing balustrade made of 17th-century turned balusters. A gallery overlooking the front door features a balustrade from the 16th or 17th century, consisting of bulbous turned balusters and newels with finials. The first-floor panelled room includes a door with some linenfold panelling, along with old two-panelled and eight-panelled doors.
