Description
Barton Farmhouse, along with its attached outbuilding and wall, is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, which includes an earlier 17th-century building to the right of the porch and a bay added around 1980 to the left. The exterior features colourwashed render over cob and stone, a gabled slate roof, 19th-century brick stacks at the ends and ridge, and a 17th-century external stone lateral stack at the rear. The farmhouse has a three-unit plan with a blocked through-passage to the right of the central hall. It is two storeys high and has a five-window range. The central bay slightly projects and includes an early 19th-century porch with a six-panelled door featuring a dolphin knocker and an overlight. There are flat arches over 20th-century three-light casements and a late 19th-century three-light casement to the left of the porch. The first floor has early 19th-century horizontal-sliding sashes, except for a 20th-century two-light casement to the left of centre. A mid-19th-century outshut is present at the rear, and there is a one-bay extension from around 1980 to the left. Inside, the room to the left has a stop-chamfered bressummer over an open fireplace and a boxed beam, while the centre has a blocked open fireplace. The first floor features late 17th-century moulded plaster cornices in two rooms to the left of the stairs, and the late 17th-century A-frame roof has pegged collars and a ridge purlin set into notched apexes. The 20th-century extension to the left is attached to an early 19th-century one-storey outbuilding made of slatestone with a slate roof, which flanks the left side of the front garden. An early to mid-19th-century L-shaped wall of slatestone with ashlar coping, piers, and an iron gate encloses the front garden and extends to the right end of the farmhouse, where it encloses a well. The thickness of the walls and the levels of the floors suggest that the unit to the right of the porch is of an earlier date.
