West Stowford Barton

West Stowford Barton is a 17th-century barton, with possible earlier fabric, largely obscured by 19th-century renovations. It is located on Titching Park Lane, near West Down. The building comprises a main range, stables, and outbuildings which now serve as store sheds, all attached. The construction is whitewashed roughcast on rubble, with slate roofs featuring gable ends and a complex plan.

The main range is two storeys and arranged in a right-angled shape, with a gable-end rubble stack to the rear, forming a 'T' shape. An L-shaped dairy outshuts the building on the left side, with slated lean-to roofs and a small courtyard to the right rear side of the store-sheds. A short, two-storey right-angled projection is located at the front right end of the main range.

The main range follows a cross-passage and hall layout, with a lateral stack to the rear, partially enclosed within the T-shaped projection, with the former inner room now incorporated into the hall. To the left of the cross-passage, an outbuilding, possibly originally a byre with a loft above, has been partially absorbed into the dwelling, with smaller stacks added at the left end and to the rear. This leaves a narrow lofted outbuilding at the left end, from which a single-storey stable block extends.

The front of the main range has a three-window range of sash windows with two panes per window. Plank doors are located at the left end of each floor. A temporarily blocked sash window stands to the left, and a sash window with marginal glazing bars is positioned to the right of the cross-passage. A cambered arch doorway leads to a porch with a slate roof, and an inner door with six panels, the upper panels glazed. A wing to the right has a sash window with a three-over-six pane configuration on its left side. A plank door is set into the gable end, with a 20th-century casement window above. Sashes are present at the right gable end of the main range on each floor. Two 19th-century two-light casements are located on the rear side of the rear projection. The outbuilding to the rear features an overhanging slate roof creating a covered walkway, with a plank door on the left and a half-glazed door on the right.

The hall contains an impressively large stopped and chamfered beam, along with a smaller stopped and chamfered transverse beam. The square-headed inner doorway to the cross-wing has a chamfered surround. A six-panel door is located to the left of the cross-passage, incorporating a sliding peep-hole, likely used to monitor a former outbuilding. The 17th-century roof structure remains intact, consisting of three trusses in the main range and two in each of the projections, with no sign of smoke-blackening.
