Description

Barton Hall is a house dating from 1710, with an extension added in 1863. The original structure is built of ashlar stone, while the extension is roughcast with sandstone dressings. The east elevation features two storeys with an attic and five bays, along with a two-bay extension to the south. The original part has a chamfered base, a string band, and a coved cornice, with rusticated quoins and coped gables that have kneelers. The windows include architraves and recessed flat-faced cross mullions with small-paned glazing, although the first two bays on the ground floor have sash windows. There are two gabled dormers, likely from the 19th century, with shaped plastered fronts, bolection moulded architraves, and an open pediment dated above a four-panel door with an overlight. The gable ends have stacks.

The first bay of the extension features a gable and an end stack, with two narrow sash windows on the ground floor. The narrow second bay has a flat-roofed porch, an entrance with a two-light overlight, and a first-floor sash window, along with a cross-axial stack. The south return has three bays, including two canted bays over two storeys; the first-floor parts are later additions, with a first-floor sash window between them. The west elevation is similar to the east, with the earlier part partly roughcast and the extension made of rock-faced stone. There is a small flat-roofed 20th-century extension with a later timber sun lounge. A tall cross-mullioned stair window is present in the extension. The north return includes a small gabled service wing and a stable with a hipped roof. The first floor and attic have two-light windows, and there is a sash window with glazing bars to the west of the service wing. The stable has a west lean-to outshut and ashlar dressings on the east elevation.

Inside, the hall and two rooms feature plastered beams and cornices. One room has a bolection-moulded fireplace with a cornice. The staircase has turned balusters and a close string cut by a moulded handrail with square balusters. There are three-panel bolection-moulded doors, and the first floor has two-panel doors along with a 19th-century bathroom. The extension includes an open well stair with two turned balusters on the tread, as well as original fireplaces and grates.
