Description
Barkwith House is an 18th-century house consisting of two parallel ranges, with the rear range being the oldest. The building is constructed of brick and has modern render. It features a double span roof, with plain tiles at the front and pantiles at the rear. The house is two stories tall and has a four-window range, with sash windows that have glazing bars on the left side and 20th-century casements on the right side. There is a modern canted bay window on the ground floor of the right side. The doorway is asymmetrical and includes a six-panel door in a solid frame, topped by a rectangular fanlight with semi-circular and radiating glazing bars; there is also a 20th-century brick porch. The house has a wood modillion cornice and a half-hipped roof.
