Description
Barkfold House is a house with early 19th century Gothic character, constructed at different times. The original L-shaped section dates from the 17th century and is two storeys high with three windows. It is built of coursed Wealden sandstone and features a parapet with a crow-stepped central panel and a Horsham slab roof. The windows are casement style. In the early 19th century, a two-storey hexagonal porch was added to the center, featuring long and short quoins and a castellated parapet with a crow-stepped panel in the middle. There is a pointed window on the second floor of the porch, and diamond-shaped buttresses flank the ground floor porch. Each side of the porch has a ground floor bay that contains a window with two tiers of five lights and a castellated parapet above. The buttresses of the porch rest on these bays. In the late 19th century, additional two-storey sections were added to the east and west, each with a canted front featuring three windows.
