Satterleigh Barton

SS 62 SE SATTERLEIGH AND SATTERLEIGH WARKLEIGH 4/196 Satterleigh Barton - 20.2.67 GV II Barton Farmhouse. Probably late C17/early C18 refashioned in late C19. Painted rendered stone rubble and cob. Slate roof with gable end to right and half-hip to front wing at left end. Rebuilt brick stacks to centre rear and to right end and ridge brick stack to front wing. Plan. Overall L-shaped plan. Main range consists of three room and through-passage plan, but with additional entrance stairhall between the 2 right-hand rooms. Dairy and salting house to left of through-passage at left end, and a single principal room to each side of entrance stairhall, that to left heated by rear stack, that to right with gable end stack. An axial passage to the rear of these 2 rooms and staircase, but with no access through to them, connects with the through-passage and was probably originally for service use. Front wing to left end, formerly single large kitchen, now divided into 2 rooms shares the massive stack with the salting room at the left end of the main range. This suggests that the original late C17 or early C18 range may have consisted of a 3-room and cross-passage plan, the lower end to right, of stairhall, the 'hall' to left heated by--the rear lateral stack, and a large parlour at left end which was later divided, when the large kitchen wing was added, into the salting-house, dairy and through-passage, the partition between the later two cutting through two C17/early C18 chamfered scroll-stopped ceiling beams. 2 storeys. 3-window range achieving symmetry to right-hand end of main range, all late C19 fenestration, 3 light casements to each floor, 6 panes per light to upper storey 8 panes per light to ground floor, flanking a 2 light casement, 6 panes per light above C20 porch, with gabled roof and late C19 4 panelled inner door. Bellcote to centre straddling the ridge with hipped roof surmounted by weathervane, and ogee-shaped bell-openings to each of the sides of the square base. C19 plank door at left end of main range close to the angle with the front wing with 6 paned window above. Front wing has 3 window range to inner face, all 2-light casements 8 panes per light except central ground floor window which has 6 panes per light. Interior: Entirely late C19/early C20 internal joinery including 4 panelled doors and staircase. All the beams are boxed in those to 'hall' are intersecting, except to dairy and through-passage which has two cross ceiling beams, chamfered and scroll-stopped, that towards front on one arris only. The bell and mechanism are intact in the roofspace but not in situ. Roof structure has wide-span trusses with straight principals, lapped collars and staggered purlins.
