Barton Hall

Barton Hall is a country house built in 1742, with remodels in the late 19th century on the south front and in 1935 on the east front. The structure is made of brick, partly plastered to imitate ashlar, and features roofs of plain tiles and pantiles. The east facade has two storeys and a dormer attic, arranged in three bays. The central bay is wider and projects forward beneath a pediment. It has panelled double doors below a six-vaned fanlight, all framed by a Roman Doric door surround with two pilasters and two engaged columns. The space between the columns is pierced with rounded lights on either side. The columns and pilasters support a dentiled entablature that extends over the entire bay, which is further highlighted by rusticated quoining. There is one sash window with glazing bars on the first floor, and each side bay has one sash window per floor, all featuring glazing bars and set beneath gauged skewback arches. A string course runs at the first floor level, and there is a console eaves cornice and pediment. The tympanum of the pediment contains a semi-circular light with a keystone. The hipped roof has two gabled dormers with intact sash windows and glazing bars, along with two symmetrically placed ridge stacks.

The south facade has two storeys and a dormer attic arranged in six bays, with an additional full-height central canted bay. The sash windows with glazing bars are set below gauged skewback arches, and a string course is present at the first floor. The eaves cornice continues from the east facade. The hipped roof features four gabled dormers and two additional ridge stacks. The west facade has two storeys and is composed of seven bays, with the central three bays projecting forward under a pediment. It also has sash windows with glazing bars beneath gauged skewback arches, and the string course and eaves cornice continue from the south front. The hipped roof includes two symmetrical stacks.

Inside, there is a square entrance hall that leads to a passage via glazed doors. At the end of the passage, there is a dog-leg staircase with square newel posts, a ramped handrail, and iron twist balusters.
