Description

Barker's Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It is timber framed and plastered, topped with a roof of handmade red clay tiles. The building has four bays facing northeast and features an axial stack in the second bay from the left, which creates a lobby entrance. It has two storeys.

On the ground floor, there are two early 19th-century sash windows with sixteen lights each and one with twelve lights, all made with crown glass. The first floor contains three late 19th-century sash windows, each with four lights. The entrance has a six-panel flush door, with the top two panels being glazed, also from the early 19th century. There is a 20th-century lean-to porch on the right side of the house. Inside, the house features chamfered binding beams with step stops mounted on half-height jowls, which are partly boxed in. There is a large wood-burning hearth facing to the right that has been blocked, and an equivalent hearth to the right has been altered for a 20th-century grate. The walls of the house have been raised approximately 2 meters, likely during the 18th or early 19th century.

A rear wing was located at the right end of the house until around 1975. There is also oblique brick nogging reported within the left return wall, although it is not currently visible.
