Barnston Hall

Barnston Hall is a house that dates back to the 16th century, with a 20th-century rear wing. It features a plain red tile roof and is constructed from timber framing and plaster, standing two stories tall with a cellar and attic. The ground floor has three windows of various casement styles, including one with a hipped bay clad in red tiles. The first floor has four small paned sliding sash windows with side lights. There are two red brick concertina chimney stacks and an original front door. To the left, there is a 20th-century extension with a flat roof that has three windows. The rear wing, which is exposed and made of re-used timber frame, was erected in 1920. The main timber frame of the house is largely intact, featuring stop-chamfered beams, jowled storey posts, and a side purlin roof. The top plate has halved and bladed scarfs, and there are several original doors, mullion windows, and four fireplaces. The roof rafters include re-used materials from a building that predates 1300. The staircase retains parts of the original handrails, balusters, and string.
