Description
Barming Place is a large house built in the mid-18th century. It has three storeys and a basement, constructed of red brick with an ashlar base. The roof is hipped and tiled, and there is a parapet featuring alternating panels of red brick and stone balustrading with stone balusters. The building has a stone modillion cornice and long and short stone quoins.
There are five segmental-beaded windows with painted keystones and intact glazing bars. The central window on the first floor is higher and wider than the others, while the central window on the second floor is a lunette with geometric tracery. The entrance porch is accessed by three steps and features wooden Tuscan columns, an open pediment, and a semi-circular fanlight that mirrors the design of the lunette window above. The porch has double doors that are half-glazed.
To the south of the main house, there is a two-storey red brick addition with two windows on the ground floor and a doorway flanked by stuccoed pilasters, a cornice, and a parapet. The doorway has a round-headed arch with half-glazed double doors and a semi-circular fanlight above. There is one window on the first floor above the door and blocked window spaces on either side. A stringcourse runs above this addition, topped by a panelled parapet.
On the north side, the house is flanked by a single-storey addition that features a similar doorway with empty niches on either side. This addition has a higher panelled parapet and a pyramidal slate roof. The outer sides of both additions are matched by wings made of ashlar, each with long and short quoins, two storeys high, and two windows on the ground floor.
