Description

Barton House is a house that has been converted into offices. It dates from the mid to late 17th century, with some alterations made in the 19th century. The building is constructed of coursed squared limestone rubble and features a stone slate roof. There are two ashlar ridge stacks with moulded tops and two 19th-century brick stacks located on the left and right sides of the rear wing. The house has five coped gables on the front and five on the rear, along with a double-pile single-storey extension to the rear right.

The house is two storeys tall with an attic and has a five-window range. On the first floor, there are five 2-light hollow-chamfered stone-mullion windows with iron casements, some of which have been repaired with leaded lights and feature hoodmoulds, likely all from the early 19th century. Above, there are five similar windows in the gables. The ground floor has four similar 3-light windows. In the centre of the front elevation, there is a 19th-century gabled ashlar porch with a stone slate roof, which has a studded door with four vertical panels formed by applied moulding and a Tudor-arched head in a chamfered stone surround. The porch's coped gable has a moulded finial at the apex. The main range has flush quoins at the left and right angles. The left side of the building features one gable, with 2-light windows similar to those on the front at the first floor and in the gable, and a similar 3-light window extending to ground level on the ground floor.

On the rear elevation, there are three 2-light timber windows with inset iron casements that have pointed tops and intersecting tracery, along with five similar windows in the gables and three similar windows on the ground floor.

Inside, there is an early to mid-18th-century fireplace with bolection moulding located on the ground floor to the left, a 19th-century Gothic fireplace on the ground floor to the rear left, and three early 19th-century fireplaces on the first floor. There are also three additional 19th-century fireplaces and boxed-out beams throughout the house, with a beam in the centre of the first floor featuring a step-stopped chamfer.
