Description

Head Barton is a farmhouse built in 1872, as indicated by the datestone. The structure is made of unrendered stone rubble with brick dressings and quoins. It features a hipped slate roof with rendered brick stacks that have oversailing brick courses at the capping on each side, along with a large stack at the hipped end of the rear service wing. The house has a rectangular plan, consisting of two rooms deep with the principal front room on each side of the stairhall, and a service wing located at the rear right side.

The building stands two storeys high and has a three-window range. All original windows are intact, featuring 16-paned hornless sashes with slightly cambered brick lintels and brick quoins. There is a gabled slate roof over a stone rubble porch, which has a chambered brick lintel, brick quoins, and small four-paned windows on each side. The inner door is six-panelled, with the upper four panels being glazed. The datestone reads "MR 1872," and there are tripartite sashes on the right side of the rear wing.

The interior remains largely unaltered since the 19th century. Head Barton is one of the more substantial farmhouses built by the Rolle family and is prominently situated overlooking the River Mole.
