Barton Church Farmhouse

Barton Church Farmhouse is a farmhouse of late 16th century origins, with a north wing dated 1628, and a porch built in 1693. It is constructed of roughcast stone with ashlar dressings, and has a slate roof. The building is arranged in a roughly L-shaped layout over two storeys. It incorporates single-chamfered-mullioned windows, some with hollow chamfers.

The south elevation of the north wing has four bays, with the third bay projecting as a porch beneath a catslide roof. The ground floor has a window of three large lights to the first bay; the fourth bay contains a five-light window. The first floor has a 3:2:2-light window arrangement. The porch has a sunk triangular-headed entrance, and a studded inner door with ornate strap hinges, a latch, and a pull-handle. The first floor of the porch features a panel reading "C A NON EST HAEC REQUIES 1628 T E 1693." Cross-axial and gable-end stacks are present.

The east elevation of the west wing is of three bays, with the third bay breaking forward as a stair bay. The first two bays have three-light windows under continuous label moulds, although the second bay on the ground floor has a four-light window, along with a small stair light. The south gable end has a stack with a cornice and a later lean-to outshut, which is not of particular interest.

The west elevation presents three bays, with a large, central projecting stack with a gable and a brick shaft. The ground floor has single-light windows, and the second bay has a casement and label. The first floor has two three-light windows under a continuous label, and a four-light transomed window with a label, the upper part of which is blocked. An attic window of two lights sits above.

The north elevation exhibits a gabled projection, with part to the right projecting further under a single-pitch roof, and a large gable-end stack to the left of the gable; a swept gutter is also visible. The first floor has two and three-light windows with labels, and two stair lights to the projection. There are also two attic lights. An inserted entrance is present in the first bay, and another entrance occupies what was formerly a two-light window in the third bay.

The interior features stop-chamfered beams, with one corbelled beam along a wall. There are two cupboards with H-L hinges, and two spiral stone stairs. The first floor contains two rooms, originally one, with a rich plaster ceiling. Parts of the ceiling have been incorporated into the overmantel, dating from 1912. The attic has a partly plastered floor and corn bins. A shaft, described as a well, is located next to the chimney, and there is one fireplace.
