Barton House, Including Coach House And Cottage Adjoining To East

Barton House is a large house with a coach house and cottage attached to the east, dating from the mid-19th century. The main house is constructed of plastered rubble, with rubble stacks and plastered brick chimney shafts, and has slate roofs. It follows a four-room plan with a double-depth arrangement, featuring a central entrance hall and main stair located off the left (east) side, between the front and back rooms. The front rooms have rear stacks rising in a valley between the parallel roofs, while the rear rooms are served by end stacks. A single-storey, double-depth service block extends to the right (west), with a large stack rising from the valley between two roofs. A similar block extends to the left (east), but incorporates a forward-projecting cottage and coach house (now a garage) with an axial stack.

The north front of the main house is symmetrical, with three windows, and is divided into three bays by stucco-panelled pilasters. The central door is a 20th-century replacement. A large, flat-roofed porch with stucco pilasters, moulded caps and bases, an entablature, and a parapet, clasps pairs of pilasters on the forward corners. It has 16-pane hornless sash windows with sun shutters. A plain cornice and plinth are present. Deep projecting eaves and low-pitch roofs are hipped at each end. The ancillary block to the right has two 16-pane sashes with shutters and a hipped roof. A former coach house and stables to the left now contains C20 garage doors, a central tall hornless 16-pane sash window, and a 19th-century six-panel door with an overlight at the left end. The end of the cottage has a blocked window recess with a small fixed six-pane window under the eaves of a hipped roof.

The south side of the main house has a symmetrical four-window front between end panelled pilasters. Ground floor French windows with glazing bars and margin panes are present, as are first-floor hornless 16-pane sashes with sun shutters. Deep eaves and hipped roofs are present. The ancillary block to the left has two horned 16-pane sashes, and evidence remains of a removed plat band over. To the right, a similar block has a hornless 16-pane sash, a C20 glazed door near the right end, and a first-floor C20 sash window with glazing bars. The right (east) side features a large stair window containing a radial pattern of 20th-century coloured glass. The interior has not been inspected.
