Barton Cottage And Hill View

Barton Cottage and Hill View is a house dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century. It was converted into three cottages in the 18th century and is now two dwellings. The exterior features colourwashed render over coursed slatestone rubble and a gabled thatch roof. There is a rendered stack on the left end and a rendered front lateral stack to the right of the front door. The building has a three-unit plan with a blocked through-passage to the left of the central hall. It is two storeys high and has a three-window range. A 20th-century outshut with a 20th-century door is located at the centre. The windows are 20th-century casements with flat rendered arches, and there is a 20th-century window set in a blocked doorway in the left bay. The right gable wall features a 20th-century door and porch for Barton Cottage. At the rear right, there is an early 19th-century two-storey wing made of similar materials, with cob under the eaves, and a 20th-century outshut to the rear left.

Inside, the ground floor has stop-chamfered beams. The room to the left contains a stop-chamfered bressummer over a fireplace, which has late 18th-century brick jambs and a cloam oven, flanked by stop-chamfered bridging beams. The central room features a flat stone arch over an open fireplace with a cloam oven. The 19th-century staircase, located to the left of the central room, is situated in the former through-passage of the 17th-century house. The original 17th-century roof has a four-bay A-frame structure with notched apexes and butt purlins, and the truss to the right has curved feet.
