Description
Baring House is a former estate boathouse and lodge for the Revelstoke estate, located on its own quay on Newton Creek. It was built around 1880-1890, likely by George Devey's office. The structure is made of stone rubble with ashlar dressings and features Welsh slate half-hipped roofs. It is two storeys tall and has an asymmetrical plan, with a half-hipped gabled wing that projects on the south side facing the creek. This wing includes a triangular oriel with a hipped roof. The building has segmentally arched window openings fitted with wooden mullion-transom casements that have leaded panes, as well as hipped dormers.
At the west end, there is a single-storey boathouse with a slightly lower roof level, featuring a segmentally arched doorway with large double doors. A wrought iron weather-vane sits on the ridge of the roof. The east end of the building, which faces up the creek, has a half-hipped jettied and roughcast gable with an oriel above a sliding boathouse door that leads to the beach. To the right, there is a pentice roof over a small doorway that is raised above high water level. The building also has red brick chimney stacks.
