Description
Rame Barton Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the early to mid-18th century, with 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of rubble and rendered, topped with an asbestos slate roof that has two spans, gable end stacks, and two ridge stacks. The building features two parallel ranges that create a double depth plan. The front range includes a passage with one room to the right and two rooms to the left. This passage leads to a longitudinal passage between the front and rear ranges, which has a staircase at the back of the right-hand room. The rear range contains service rooms. The central front room is heated by an axial stack, while the outer rooms are heated by gable end stacks.
The farmhouse stands two storeys high on a plinth with rusticated V-jointed quoins. It has four windows, with three grouped to the right and one to the left, all of which are 16-pane sashes that have been replaced in the 20th century and feature keystones. The central bay of the three to the right has a 20th-century raised fielded panelled door with a keystone above it. There is a cill string at the first floor and corbelled overhanging eaves. To the left, there is a rubble lean-to that includes a re-used two-light chamfered granite casement with six-pane lights. A curtain wall to the left has a door and is attached to a single-storey outhouse, which has a door in the gable end and a two-light casement on the inner side. The left gable end features a 20th-century single light in the lean-to and one at the first-floor centre, along with a door leading to the longitudinal passage, which has a hood above it. The right gable end has a door to the right, a small 20th-century window at the first-floor centre, and is slate hung at the upper level. The rear of the building has four remaining keystones at the ground floor, likely originally four at the first floor as well, with irregular 20th-century fenestration and a glazed door to the right.
Inside, the front passage has a stone floor and a dog-leg stair leading to the rear, featuring a main column with balusters and additional stick balusters, along with a grip handrail. The front rooms have four-panelled doors. The rear service rooms include a former dairy located at the rear right, which has a rear lateral service stair.
