Newcourt Barton

SHEEPWASH SS 40 NE 7/82 Newcourt Barton - 4.10.60 - II Farmhouse. Late C16 or early C17 heavily remodelled in C18 with C19 additions. Stone rubble and possibly cob walls, rendered at the front. Slate roof gabled to right end hipped to left. 3 brick stacks - 1 at each end and 1 axial, and stone ashlar rear lateral stack with moulded cap. Plan: due to restricted access the plan is not entirely clear but almost certainly originated as 3 rooms with a through-passage, the hall heated by a rear lateral stack. The position of the passage is unclear from the outside as the present entrance is at the centre and most probably dates from an C18 remodelling which also including a refronting. C19 1-room addition built at left-hand end and a rear outshut added. Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 5-window front of late C18 or early C19 12-pane sashes of which the left-hand ones have rusticated plaster architraves. Central gabled C19 porch which has a re-used or reproduction 4-centred stone archway with a C19 panelled door behind. Rusticated plaster quoins at either end of front wall. C19 slightly lower addition at left-hand end. At rear is slight projection to centre adjoining hall stack and outshut to the left, the extension at the other end projects slightly. Interior: inaccessible at time of survey - C16/C17 features likely to have been concealed by C18 remodelling but good quality C18 plasterwork and joinery may be evident.
