Yarn Barton And Queens Barton

Yarn Barton and Queens Barton is a detached house that has been subdivided. It likely dates from the 17th century, with remodels in the 18th and 19th centuries, and an extension added in the early 20th century. The building is constructed of ham stone ashlar and features Welsh slate roofs with stepped coped gables and a steep pitch, along with brick chimney stacks. It has two storeys with an attic and consists of six bays.

The windows are ovolo-mould mullioned types set in wave-mould recesses, fitted with horizontal-bar lights that have 4-centre-arced heads. The upper bays 1, 2, 3, and 5 contain 3-light windows, while lower bays 1, 3, and 5 have similar 3-light windows. Upper bay 4 features a 2-light mullioned and transomed window, and bay 6 has a single-light window below a 2-light window. Labels run across bays 1 to 3 on both levels, as well as across upper bays 4 and 5 and lower bays 5 and 6.

In lower bay 2, there is an ovolo-mould flat-arched doorway with a deep recess and fielded panel reveals leading to a 19th-century door. The north gable has three 4-pane sash windows with simple architraves, while the south gable features a moulded single-light window under a label for the attic, and a 2-light and a 3-light window on the first floor sharing a label. Below this is a flat-roofed bow-fronted extension with a 2-light casement window and a plain door facing east.

The interior has not been seen, but it is reported to have a through-passage plan that is two rooms deep, with a rear extension that was originally single-storey but has since been raised. The front rooms have fielded panelling and window shutters, and there is a stone fireplace from the 17th or 18th century, along with a collar truss roof. Some windows in the north wall have been blocked and are now concealed by number 5, which is dated 1741.
