Barton End, And Attached Walls At Rear

Barton End is a single house dating from the 17th century and early 18th century, located on Fleet Street. The building features brick walls with burnt headers, a stone plinth, and stone rusticated quoins. It has a moulded stone cornice and a parapet with ramped corners, topped with a tile roof that has steep pitch and stone gable-copings. The front range, built around 1730, has a rear staircase projection and is two storeys high with attics. Its symmetrical facade includes five sash windows with glazing bars, stone window architraves featuring a projecting dropped key, and stone cills. The two-light dormers have filed cheeks and hipped tile roofs. The front door is framed by a stone surround with a plain frieze and a part-open stone pediment supported by stone volute-brackets. The door itself is wooden with flush panels and two top lights.

The rear range is also two storeys and features four-light stone mullions with labels above, including both renewed and original fixed leaded lights and iron casements. There is a two-storey porch with a depressed straight-chamfered doorway and a raised label above it. The 18th-century stair-wing at the rear has a round-headed window with a keystone and a plain blind oval-shaped oculus.

Inside the rear wing, there are extensive flagstone floors and a large open fireplace with a re-set wooden lintel. A studded plank door with strap-hinges is located beside the fireplace. On the first floor, there is a stone fireplace with a Tudor-arch head and roll and concave-moulded jambs. The 18th-century staircase features an oak handrail with inverted bulbous balusters. The window shutters in the front of the house have fielded panelling.

There is a 20th-century extension to the right of the house along the street. At the rear of the 17th-century wing, there are stone walls with stone coping that run for 25 metres and stand approximately 15 feet high. Attached to the rear are stone-rubble garden walls that are about 8 feet high.
