Wray Barton

Wray Barton is a manor house built around 1840, featuring stucco walls and a slate roof with gables on all sides. It has rendered brick octagonal chimneys and dressed granite detailing, showcasing a Victorian Tudor Gothic style. The layout includes a central stair hall, with two main front rooms facing the garden. To the left is a side entrance lobby that leads to the stair hall, with kitchen and service rooms located behind. There is a small room at the rear left that faces the entrance side.

The house stands three storeys tall and originally had two gables on each side. The entrance side is asymmetrical with two windows, a central doorway, and a slightly projecting chimney stack with weathering on the right. The windows are 12-pane sashes with hoodmoulds above, and the second-floor window in the left gable is a pointed lancet. A stringcourse above the second-floor window follows the line of the gables. The entrance features a slightly projecting granite four-centred arched doorway with heavy roll moulding and an arched hoodmould, topped by a stepped gable and diagonal buttresses at each corner.

The garden front, located at the right return, is symmetrical and includes two canted three-light bay windows that originally had battlements. The first and second-floor windows on this side are identical to those on the entrance front. The side opposite the entrance has an irregular wing with granite mullion windows.

Inside, the house retains much of its original plasterwork and joinery, including six-panel doors and a staircase with a curved handrail, curtail step, stick balusters, and carved tread ends. The hall and landings feature a modillion cornice, and the hall has a central ceiling rose. The front room on the left has an ornate moulded cornice and a ceiling band decorated with trailing vines and grapes. Both main rooms have panelled shutters on their bay windows. The front room on the right also has a cornice, a ceiling band, and a fireplace with an eared architrave. The main bedroom on the first floor has a simple moulded cornice, as do other first-floor rooms, and features a fireplace with an eared architrave.
