Barton Court And Adjoining Barn And Outbuildings

Barton Court, along with its adjoining barn and outbuildings, is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It likely dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with later alterations and additions from the late 18th century or early 19th century, including the barn, and a minor addition from the late 19th century or early 20th century. There have also been minor alterations in the late 20th century. The house has a rendered front, likely over cob, and painted stone rubble at the rear, topped with a gable-ended thatched roof featuring brick end stacks. The rear wing has a roof covered with 20th-century clay tiles. The barn is constructed from uncoursed stone rubble, with some cob above the entrance, and has a gabled-ended roof covered with 20th-century clay tiles. There is also a stone and cob outbuilding with a half-hipped corrugated-iron roof.

The building has a two-room central-entrance plan and is positioned at right angles to the road, facing south. It features integral brick end stacks and likely has a later wing that projects at right angles to the rear, possibly from the late 18th century or early 19th century, with a late 19th-century lean-to outshut in the angle. The barn, which is attached to the right-hand end of the house, is probably a late 18th-century addition, potentially altering an earlier barn, as indicated by a small section of cob. There is also a low range of outbuildings, likely from the late 18th century or early 19th century, projecting at right angles from the front of the left-hand end. The house is two storeys tall, while the outshut and outbuildings are single storey.

The exterior features a symmetrical two-window front with 2-light small-paned wooden casements. There is a central late 20th-century lean-to stone porch with a panelled door. The range of outbuildings on the left has two plank doors with wooden lintels. The barn at the right-hand end of the house has a central pair of large plank doors with flanking buttresses, which are the remains of a shallow porch, and a wooden lintel with cob above. The left-hand gable end of the house has a 2-light wooden casement on each floor and a projecting lean-to bread oven. The interior has not been inspected.
