67, Barton Street

67 Barton Street is a house with a shop, featuring a front that dates from the mid to late 18th century and a main structure from the early to mid 16th century. The front is rendered, while the rear wing is made of brick and has a tile or asbestos-cement roof with brick stacks. The building has a plan where the front block runs parallel to the street and was formerly jettied, set over a throughway on the right side. It includes a rear eaves stack and a gable stack for a fireplace above the throughway party wall, with a deep rear wing extending to the left.

The exterior is two storeys high, with an attic and basement, and features two windows. The dormer and first-floor lights have been replaced with aluminium. The ground floor showcases a well-preserved early 19th-century shop front, which has bowed 12-pane oriels on either side of a central part-glazed door, topped with a multi-pane transom light and a plain fascia with lead dressing above. Blocked cellar openings are located beneath the display windows, along with pavement access. An arched opening on the right leads to the throughway. The ridge on the right has a cropped stack, while the rear wall of the street block displays timber framing with brick infill and a tall eaves stack. The rear roof slope is covered with asbestos-cement slates, and the gabled wing has a steeply pitched tiled roof.

Inside, the first-floor front room was originally open to the roof and features heavy braced framing on the party walls, along with wide early floorboards that have been 'hogged' across the line of the throughway wall without cracking or breaking. In a back room, one of the principal posts resembles a cruck. The front roof slope includes wind bracing. This building is a typical example of an early structure that has been concealed behind a heavily modified street front.
