Description
Barton Cottage is a small house dating to around 1700. It was originally a dwelling, and its form suggests it may have been two cottages joined together. The house is constructed of coursed golden rubble stone, with a tiled roof now incorporating roof lights. The end chimneys include one built of ashlar stone, both with coped verges. The south-east front has two windows; these are 3-light mullioned windows with cornices on the ground floor. A single-light window and a 2-light attic window are visible on the south-west gable. The north-west front has a small 2-light mezzanine window with a cornice; there is no visible door on this side, and its position suggests it may have been a stair window, supporting the theory that the building started as two cottages. A small wooden firelight with an oak diagonal mullion is present. A fireplace has been extended to the north-east, and it is now part of an extension belonging to the Railway Inn. The entrance to Barton Cottage is located within this extension, beside a chimney. The layout suggests the cottage may originally have been entered from a gable end.
Inside, the ground floor has chamfered beams and joists with ogee stops, while the first floor has ridge stops. The attic is divided into two sections by an upper cruck.
