Description
Barle House is a late 18th-century house, with a 19th-century addition to the right, and subsequent alterations. It is constructed of sandstone rubble, rendered on the left-hand side, with a pantiled roof featuring raised coped verges and brick gable stacks. The house to the left has two storeys and three windows, all sash windows, with parapet boxes above the ground-floor openings. A central panelled and glazed door sits beneath a 20th-century porch with a hipped roof, parapet, and coping. A lower, two-storey addition is set back to the right. The ground and first floors of the addition each have a single 16-pane sash window with a gauged brick segmental head; the ground floor left has a 16-pane sash and the first floor has a sash with segmental heads. The right return of the house features a three-light window on the ground floor to the left, and a 16-pane sash window at first floor to the right. The rear of the house includes a garage to the left with a blocked first-floor window. The rear of the main house has two 20th-century windows on the ground floor, a central flat-roofed 20th-century porch, and two small 16-pane sashes and a central sash window on the first floor. The side of the projecting block to the left features a two-light casement window on the ground floor and a small 16-pane sash window at first floor. A cast iron pump and a stone basin are set into a recess in the rear wall. The interior has not been inspected. Barle House was built on the former formal gardens of The Beeches.
