Eastleigh Barton Including Rear Garden Wall Containing Two Bee Boles

This is a farmhouse, likely originating in the early 16th century, with significant remodelling in the late 16th and 17th centuries. It is constructed of rendered stone rubble with slate roofs and gable ends. A prominent stone rubble front lateral hall stack rises to a tapered cap. There are also rendered stacks to the right end and set off the ridge to the left of the two-storey porch, and a stone rubble stack with a tapered cap, heightened in brick to the gable end of the rear range.

The building has a complex plan, forming a roughly three-sided rear courtyard. The front range includes a large hall heated by the front lateral stack, a through-passage with a gabled two-storey porch, and a lower section with a lower ridge. The range abutting the rear left-hand side of the hall is probably a 17th-century parlour wing, and a service wing attached at right angles to this parlour wing, completing the courtyard, runs parallel to the main range.

The front range has a 12-paned sash window over a tripartite 12-paned sash with 4-paned sidelights to the left of the stack. The two-storey porch has a 12-paned sash over a cambered arch doorway. The exceptionally fine inner doorway is surrounded by a moulded four-centred arch with foliated decoration to the spandrels, and retains its original linen-fold panelled door. A 19th-century two-light casement, with 6 panes per light, sits above a four-over-eight paned sash window. A single four-centred arched stone window survives to the rear upper storey of the front range. Two 12-paned sashes with a blind oculus above are located to the projecting left side of the front gable end of the right-angled rear wing, along with a single 12-paned sash to its west face. A rear wing, parallel to the main range, has a three-over-six paned sash above a 19th-century three-light casement at its west end.

A cob wall with a tiled capping extends to the left and incorporates two bee-bole niches at its left end. An internal inspection in 1985 suggested the survival of high-quality 17th-century interior features, including a tall plank and muntin screen in the through-passage, an unusual handmade brick floor to the hall, and a four-centred arched doorway with foliated spandrels at the lower end.
