Description
Barrack Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with a rear wing added around 1983. The building is timber framed, featuring a 19th-century red brick casing on the facade and the right-hand gable end, while the rest of the structure is plastered. It has a pantiled roof and is two storeys high, following a three-cell plan. The windows are mid-20th-century casements, including a curved bay on the ground floor. The entrance door is part of a modern addition, and there is an internal stack. Inside, the farmhouse displays exposed framing and original newel stairs, along with an original four-light diamond mullion window located in the rear wall at first floor level. Notably, one ground floor wall post features a moulded head with a course of scalloped carving beneath, similar to those found at Macheath and Fordley Hall, both in Middleton.
