Description
Kirkbarrow is a house that likely dates from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with later additions from the late 17th century and beyond. It is constructed of stone rubble with ashlar dressings and has a slate roof. The building is L-shaped with a rear wing. The south elevation features two storeys and four bays, including a projecting east wing. The third bay contains a two-storey gabled porch. The gables are coped, and the windows have label moulds, 19th-century ashlar surrounds, and 20th-century casements. The first bay has paired windows, while the porch features a two-light single-chamfered-mullioned window, and the fourth bay has a small light on the ground floor. The return of the east wing has similar paired windows.
The entrance to the porch has a sunk triangular head and a label mould raised over a panel of arms, which is said to belong to Carlton Cooper. There is a drip course above the first floor and a corbelled statue of a nun with a spike finial. The inner entrance has a studded door with strap hinges. There are signs of blocked openings in the wing, which has a large gable-end stack. The west return features a large projecting gable and stack with set-offs.
The east elevation consists of three bays, with the north end having dressed quoins. The ground floor includes a window in chamfered reveals and a horizontally sliding sash in the first bay. The third bay has a 19th-century sashed window with vertical glazing bars and horns, along with an end light. The first floor has windows with chamfered reveals, with the second bay being narrow and the third bay featuring a horizontally sliding sash. The second bay also has a later gabled porch entrance to the return, along with gable-end stacks.
At the rear, there is a gabled wing with a gable-end stack and some chamfered lights, while other windows are from the 19th or 20th century. There is a lean-to outshut to the east, part of which has a flat roof, and a sun lounge to the west. Later outbuildings are attached to the gable end. Inside, there are four upper cruck trusses, a stone winding stair, and several doors with studs and strap hinges. The first floor features stud and plaster partitions.
