Description

Bantock House Museum and an attached barn, Wolverhampton, were originally built in the 1730s, with a front range added in the 1820s and further alterations made in the 1890s. The house is constructed of brick with ashlar detailing and has a hipped slate roof. The symmetrical front facade features five windows, a brick lintel band, and a top modillioned eaves with a central gable. The windows have rubbed brick flat arches over horned sashes with eight panes in the upper sashes. The central entrance has a half-glazed door within an ashlar distyle-in-antis porch. A two-storey canted bay is located on the left return, while the rear of the house has two earlier gabled wings displaying brick cornices and varied fenestration.

Inside, the late 19th-century interior showcases panelling and fireplaces with Delft tiles. The hall contains a staircase with turned balusters and an ingle fireplace. A barn is attached to the rear, featuring an entrance to a threshing floor on the return side. It also has small gabled wings on the front and return, as well as a square lantern with a weather vane, although it has undergone alterations.
