Barkers Farmhouse

Barkers Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, standing two storeys tall and originally featuring attics. It has a three-cell cross-entry plan and is constructed from timber framing with plaster. Above the rear cross-entry doorway, which is now part of a 19th-century lean-to extension, there is a plaster panel displaying a nearly full-size 17th-century pargetted figure of a rampant lion. The roof is covered with Roman pantiles from the 19th century.

The farmhouse features an axial chimney made of red brick, with the narrow brickwork of the shaft more exposed due to the lower pitch of the later roof. The four square shafts, made of larger red bricks, may have been rebuilt in the late 17th century. The windows are 19th-century small-pane casements, and there is a boarded door at the cross-entry position.

Despite the loss of the original roof, Barkers Farmhouse remains a good example of an early 17th-century farmhouse. It includes studding with long tension-stud braces, diamond-mullioned windows in the hall and service cell, and ovolo-mullioned windows in the parlour cell, with several examples of both types still intact, including one glazed window. The twin service room doorways are square-headed and chamfered, featuring plank doors. The floor joists are on-edge and relatively slender for the building's date. Inside, there is a lintelled open fireplace in the hall and brick-arched fireplaces in three other rooms, all of which are original.
