Bradford Barton And Attached Barn At Rear

Bradford Barton is a farmhouse that dates back to the 17th century or earlier, with remodels from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed from dressed local stone rubble and has a concrete tile roof. The building features stacks with 19th-century brick shafts, including a gable end and an axial stack, with one stack on the left that has a projecting breast and offsets, along with a bread oven projection topped by a slated lean-to.

The farmhouse has a long single room depth plan, and while the internal arrangement is not fully known, it likely originated as a three-room plan with a cross-passage, which may still be present. The room on the right appears to be an addition, while the room to the right of center has a rear lateral stack. There is a passage between this room and the room to the left of center, which features a stair-turret at the back. The far left room may also be an addition, likely serving as a kitchen with a large gable end stack. There is an integral lean-to outshut behind the left-hand room.

Attached to the rear is a barn that is positioned at right angles to the farmhouse. It has a doorway featuring a reused 17th-century panelled ribbed door, which is probably the original front door of the farmhouse. The exterior of the farmhouse is two stories high and has a window arrangement of 1:6, with 8, 12, and 4:8:4 pane tripartite sash windows, as well as two-light casements with glazing bars. There are two door openings: a plank door to the left and a six-panelled door to the right, along with an early 19th-century porch that has a tent-canopy hood.

Inside, the only room that was seen is to the right of center and features good late 18th-century or early 19th-century joinery, including window shutters, a fireplace with a mantle, and two fitted cupboards with panelled doors. The plastered axial ceiling beam has early 18th-century style plaster moulding along both sides. The roof was not visible during the inspection.
