Barton Grange

Barton Grange is a former farmhouse dating from the 16th century, built in two phases, with early 19th-century alterations and mid-20th-century renovations. The building is timber framed and plastered, topped with a pantiled roof featuring glazed black tiles at the front. It has two storeys and an attic, arranged in a three-cell form. The façade includes three mid-20th-century aluminium casement windows without glazing bars. There is a lobby entry with a mid-20th-century gabled porch and a glazed door. A stack with a cross-axial shaft was added in 1985, and there is a mid-20th-century lean-to on the left gable end.

At the rear, on the south end, there is a cavetto-mullioned window on the first floor. The earlier construction consists of three bays, including a hall and service cells. The service end features heavy plain joists set flat. The hall chamber has exposed studding with a blocked diamond-mullioned window, and the ceiling has plain flat joists with original trimming for a large opening. A fourth bay to the south is a late 16th-century addition, with evidence of diamond-mullioned windows in the former gable end at both first floor and attic levels. The stack is an early 17th-century insertion, with original ovolo lintels over both ground floor fireplaces. The parlour ceiling, likely contemporary with the stack, has a bridging beam aligned with the former gable end and ovolo-moulding on one side only, along with square chamfered joists. Above the first phase, there is a queen-post roof without collar braces.
