Description
Barton Cottage and an attached stable range, located approximately 30 metres north-east of Barton House, were likely built in the early 18th century, with the stable possibly being later. The building is constructed of coursed squared limestone rubble, with a stone slate roof. There are three rebuilt brick stacks, positioned on a ridge and at the left end of the building. The long range has seven gables facing the front and seven gables to the rear, with a single-storey stable attached to the right.
The front elevation, facing into a yard, is single-storey with an attic, and has a four-window range. The left side of Barton Cottage features two 2-light leaded casement windows with chamfered stone sills and a flat arch lintel on the far left. To the right are two unglazed 2-light timber windows, also with flat arch lintels and chamfered stone sills. The gables above have further 2-light leaded casements on the left side of Barton Cottage, with two unglazed 2-light timber windows to the right. The gable furthest to the right has no windows and is now rendered with 20th-century timber framing.
The ground floor includes two doorways on the right side, with a lower half of a plank stable door furthest to the right. Barton Cottage is accessed through a plank door with a glazed panel set within a 20th-century timber porch. A central section originally comprised three open cart sheds, now infilled with stone, two stone piers and a timber lintel. A plank door has been inserted between two gables in the centre of the left side, accessed by an external concrete blockwork staircase.
The rear elevation features four 2-light leaded casements and one unglazed 2-light window in the gables, along with two plank doors in the gables to the left. There is also a single unglazed 3-light timber window on the ground floor to the left, three openings to the former cart shed with stone piers and a timber lintel, and a further opening with a pair of plank doors. Flush quoins mark the left and right angles. The attached stable on the right has a front return enclosing a stable yard, a through-passage to the right, a boarded front with four small 2- and 3-light windows, two plank stable doors, a panel of four sliding hatches to the front left, and a pair of plank doors to the right that provide rear access to a garage.
The interior of the right side of the main range retains elements of an early 18th-century plank partition on the first floor, heavy cross-axial beams on the ground floor, and a butt-purlin roof with heavy extended collars, the ridge now partially collapsed. The stable has two loose boxes and a hay store, with feeding racks, troughs and plank partitions. The loft above the left-hand box has a 4-bay butt-purlin roof structure with a visible plank ridge to the right.
