Place Barton House

Place Barton House is a house that was originally a farmhouse, built around 1840-1850. It is not marked on the Tithe map. The building has stone rubble walls and a hipped slate roof. There is a rendered brick stack at the left-hand end and an axial stack to the main block, with a similar end stack on the right-hand wing. The house has a double depth plan for the front block, with parallel rear wings of equal size.

At the front, there is a large heated room on the left, with a stair hall to its right and a smaller heated room beyond. At the rear of the front block, there is another large heated room on the right, likely with service rooms to its left and in the rear wings. The house is two storeys tall with a cellar. The almost symmetrical front features three windows, which are original small paned three-light casements with stone arches above. The central bay slightly projects forward and has a porch supported by wooden pillars, featuring a deep moulded cornice and a hipped roof.

The two parallel wings extend from either side, each slightly projecting outwards from the main block and preserving the original windows. At the rear, a wall connects the two wings, creating a small courtyard with a central doorway, although lean-tos have been built onto the house walls. The interior has not been inspected but is believed to contain original features such as the staircase and fireplaces. The exterior of the building remains largely unaltered and appears to retain much of its original layout.
