6 Barton Street

No. 6 Barton Street is a house with a shop, dating from the late 17th century, with an early 19th-century front. The building is rendered and has a tiled roof. It features a one-room parallel plan with an additional one-room range to the right, and a full-width central stairwell between them.

The structure has three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with two windows on the front. At the back of the high parapet, there is a small two-light dormer, followed by two 16-pane sash windows on the second floor. The first floor boasts a large 25-pane sash window above a ground floor shop front made of plate glass, which has a recessed door to the left. To the far left, set back, is a wide four-panel door with a transom light leading to a throughway. The shop fascia spans the full width of the building, and there is a basement grille in the stall riser on the right. Above the first floor, there is a full-width plat band, and no chimney stacks are visible from the street.

Inside, the ground floor has been altered, while the first-floor front room features an early 18th-century cornice and a fragment of fielded panelling near the doorway. There is a dogleg stair with turned balusters and ball finials on the newels. The second floor includes a bolection-moulded fire surround in the rear room facing the front, with a boarded-over overmantel, a section of cornice above, and a small cupboard on the side wall with butterfly hinges. A scratch-moulded door leads to the stair flight to the attic, where the front room has a collar truss roof with butt purlins, including a heavy left-hand truss against the gable. There is a blocked right-hand window and a rear gable window with a decorative late 17th-century wrought-iron hinge for the leaded lattice casement. A stair light well, illuminated by the central left-hand dormer, extends down to the first floor.
