Description
Bagtor Barton is a farmhouse that likely dates from the late 16th century or 17th century, with a later addition on the right side. It is constructed from granite rubble and features a thatched roof that is hipped at both ends and at the rear of the wing. The original building has a large rendered stack on the right gable and a smaller stone stack with a brick top on the left gable, along with a large stone stack in the right wall of the rear wing. The house has a T-shaped plan with a central door that opens onto a staircase, flanked by one room on each side, with the kitchen located in the rear wing.
The building is two storeys high and has a three-window front, featuring 20th-century metal casement windows. The ground-storey windows have plain wood lintels, and there are indications of a blocked window to the left of the central doorway, which also has a wood lintel and a 20th-century plank door with decorative strap-hinges. The addition on the right is slightly set back, while to the left there is a 19th-century plank door with wrought-iron strap-hinges, a small window to its right, and another window on the second storey.
In front of the house, there is a small garden enclosed by a low rubble wall, likely from the 19th century, topped with dressed granite blocks. Inside the garden, just to the right of the gate, is a mounting block made of three granite steps. The interior of the house is mostly of 20th-century character, but there are likely early features of interest hidden beneath the plaster. The kitchen is known to have a large fireplace, which is currently concealed. The roof structure is not accessible. The house, along with its farm buildings and Bagtor House to the south, forms a visually appealing group, with the farm buildings and Bagtor House being separately listed.
