Barras House

Barras House is a farmhouse with an attached shippon, likely built in the late 17th century or early 18th century, and has been altered over time. The building is constructed of roughly coursed thin rubble with quoins, all painted white, and features some stone dressings painted black. It has a stone slate roof and a single-depth, two-unit plan oriented on an east-west axis, facing north. The shippon extends at the east end, and there is a small lean-to addition at the rear of the house, along with a long recent lean-to addition at the rear of the shippon, which is not of special interest.

The exterior of the house is two storeys high with four windows. On the ground floor, there is a doorway below the third window, an enlarged three-light window to the left with a painted stone surround, and a three-light mullioned window to the right, also painted. The upper floor features four rectangular two-light casements. There is a gable chimney on the right and a ridge chimney at the junction on the left. A mounting block is attached to the front right corner. The shippon to the left has three small square windows in the front wall, with doorways presumably located in the east gable wall.

The interior has not been inspected but is likely to contain features of historical interest. Barras House forms a group with Gawthrop Hall to the west and Far End Cottage to the north.
