Alscott Barton

Alscott Barton is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with origins in either the late 16th or early 17th century in the rear wing. The building has early to mid-19th century extensions on the sides and some 20th-century alterations. It features colourwashed render over cob and stone for the 17th-century house, while the 18th-century extensions are made of coursed slatestone rubble. The roofs are gabled and covered with slate, and there are brick stacks at the ridge and ends.

The 17th-century house has a two-unit plan at the front, with an earlier wing extending at right angles to the rear. The central taller wing is two-storeys high and has a three-window range. The main entrance features a central mid-19th century half-glazed door with a trellised porch, flanked by 20th-century canted bay windows. The first floor includes, from left to right, an early 19th-century sixteen-pane sash window, a late 19th-century horned twelve-pane sash window, and a mid-18th-century twelve-pane sash window with thick glazing bars. The rear wing has a taller roof ridge.

To the right, there is an early to mid-19th-century two-storey, two-window range with 20th-century ground-floor windows, a late 19th-century horned plate-glass sash window, and a mid-19th-century nine-pane sash window, along with a 20th-century door at the rear. To the left, there is an early to mid-19th-century extension that is one-storey with an attic and has two windows, featuring 20th-century ground-floor windows and late 19th-century twelve-pane sashes set in gabled half-dormers. A tall 19th-century outbuilding is attached to the left.

Inside, the farmhouse has mid-19th-century panelled doors and a 19th-century plank door to the rear left. The ground floor features late 17th-century chamfered beams, while the earlier rear wing has heavier chamfered beams. The building is included for its group value.
