Description

Hurst Barton is a house dating from 1657, with alterations made in the early 20th century. The house is constructed of Ham stone ashlar, with Bridgwater patent interlocking tiles to the stepped coped gables. The chimney stacks are of brick and stone slab. It is arranged over two storeys and six bays, with bays 2, 3, and 4 likely being the oldest parts of the building. The upper floor features mullioned windows with beaded and architraved surrounds; these are three-light except for bay 4, which is four-light, and bay 5, where the window is set lower. Bay 6 has no upper window. The lower floor has hollow-chamfered mullioned windows of four lights in bays 3 and 4, sharing a continuous stepped label with a moulded, flat-arched doorway in bay 2. Bay 1 has an early 20th-century door in a plain beaded surround, while bays 5 and 6 have similar doors in architraved surrounds; the last is a pair of doors. Some windows have cast iron opening lights with stays, now topped with 19th-century tulip finials. The interior of the house has not been inspected.

Approximately 2.5 metres east of the house is a low stone wall supporting wrought-iron necked-pointed railings with cast acanthus finials to curved-braced standards. Elaborate panelled wrought-iron gates are positioned opposite doors to bays 2 and 6, and return to the house. South of the house extends a cut and squared Ham stone wall, about 2 metres high with flat coping, returning to a central gateway with square piers having coved pyramidal tops. This wall contributes to the setting of the house and the general street scene.
