Description
Sparrows Barton is a house that dates from the medieval period and the 17th century, constructed of rubble stone with stone-tiled roofs. The building has one-and-a-half and two storeys. The south front features a ridge stack, a gabled cross-wing to the right, and two dormer gables to the left. The cross-wing has a coped gable and three-light ovolo-moulded mullion windows on each floor, both with hoodmoulds. To the left, there is a dormer gable that may be new or rebuilt, which sits above a 20th-century door, and a two-light recessed chamfered mullion window with a hoodmould above a two-light recessed cyma-moulded window.
On the east side, there is a single light window next to the cross-wing, and a projecting gabled wing with a coped gable and ridge stack. This wing has renewed or new two-light ovolo-moulded windows with hoodmoulds at the east end. Beyond this, there is a long range that runs north, featuring a coped north gable and 20th-century mullion-and-transom windows on the east side. The building has been converted from a barn, and the original row of dove-openings can be seen in the rear wall. The former open hall has an arched-braced collar roof, which has been dated to the 14th century.
