Huish Barton

Huish Barton is a farmhouse dating from around the mid-17th century, with 19th-century additions. The building features part rendered rubble walls and a gable-ended slate roof, supported by two brick gable end stacks on the front range and a projecting rubble stack with a brick shaft on the rear lean-to. The rear wing contains a small 17th-century rubble gable-end stack with a moulded dripcourse.

The plan of the 17th-century rear wing consists of two rooms, with the end room heated by a gable-end stack. The original house was likely larger, with part possibly replaced by the current 19th-century front range, which was likely added in the mid-19th century. This front range has a two-room layout with a central stair hall and an outshut that serves as a kitchen, built either at the same time or slightly later. There is also a later 19th-century outshut behind the 17th-century range.

The exterior is two storeys high and has a regular four-window front. The ground floor features two original 12-pane sash windows, while the upper floor has contemporary or later two-light casements. To the left of the centre is a 19th-century hipped roof porch with an early to mid-19th-century six-panel door. A single-storey extension is located at the right-hand end, and behind the left-hand end is a large outshut. The right-hand end extends into the 17th-century rear wing, which has three small gables and 17th-century three-light hollow-chamfered stone mullion windows, along with 20th-century casements on the ground floor and a central doorway. The inner face of the 17th-century wing features a two-storey outshut.

Inside, the 17th-century wing has an original ovolo-moulded wooden doorframe on the first floor, located in an unusual position as a former outside wall. Two fairly rough 17th-century plank and muntin screens also remain on the first floor. The wing likely retains its original roof structure, which includes substantial straight principals and threaded or trenched purlins. The front section has 19th-century joinery, including six-panelled doors, a panelled dado, and a staircase with a wreathed handrail, open string, and stick balusters.
