Hartsbarn Farmhouse

Hartsbarn Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to late 17th century or early 18th century. The front facade is constructed of English garden wall bond brick, while the rest of the building features random rubble stonework and a slate roof. The farmhouse has a three-room plan with a projecting rear wing and two storeys with attics. The front has seven windows, with the central ones slightly more closely spaced. The windows are timber mullion and transom style, featuring cyma moulding internally, iron casements, and flat, rubbed-brick arches. There are recessed rectangular panels below the first-floor windows.

The entrance features a four-panel wide front door topped by a square-headed two-pane fanlight, accessed by three semi-circular stone steps. Above the door is a plain shell hood supported by acanthus consoles. To the left, there is a stone plinth with elliptical heads for the cellar windows, and steps leading from the cellar to the garden. The eaves are curved and plastered, with a low central pediment that contains a circular leaded-light window with a raised rim and keys.

The right-hand gable displays a line from an earlier, steeper-pitched front roof. It has a four-light dairy window set towards the back, with three glazed lights and one shuttered, all secured with diamond-set iron bars and a timber lintel. Above this is a four-light timber mullion window with a plain chamfer and a timber lintel, along with a flat stone hoodmould above. There is a similar three-light window on the second floor, and only the lintel remains of a window in the cockloft. A slightly-recessed lean-to wing is located behind.

Inside, there are two-panel doors in the hall and on the first floor, the latter featuring H-hinges. The staircase has spiral-twisted balusters, a heavy moulded handrail, and plain square newels, originally open down to the cellar. The staircase is located in the projecting rear wing. The rooms to the right have lower ceilings and upper floors, while the left side retains features from the first house, with the facade taken across so that the windows rise above ceiling level. The roof of the right-hand section includes collar trusses with angle struts, and one principal rafter has been taken down like an upper cruck.
