Barton Grange

Barton Grange is a kitchen wing of what was once a larger country house, now converted into flats. The original structure dates to the mid-16th century, with alterations made in the early 17th century, extensive remodelling in the early 19th century, and largely demolished in 1931. The west front is rendered over rubble, with exposed quoins and a hipped slate roof concealed behind a parapet with a moulded cornice. A large stall is located at the south-west corner, with another at the rear. The remnants of a rectangular wing and a stair turret are also visible.

The building is three storeys high, representing a single bay of the original 7-bay west elevation, with 7-bay returns. A second-floor window on the west end features two lights within a truncated opening, having carved console brackets to the lintel and amputated jambs; a flat string sits below. The first floor contains a tall 19th-century mullioned and transomed window, while the ground floor has an early 20th-century flat-roofed canted bay with leaded lights. The returns have irregular fenestration and 19th-century Tudor-arched head windows on the ground floor of the west front. The main entrance is through the stair turret.

A moulded, depressed 4-centered arch doorway is visible in the rear wing, alongside a date stone inscribed "WFG(oodenough)1747". The interior includes a stick stair, 18th-century panelling on the first floor, and a 16th-century stone fireplace surround.

Historically, the site was the summer residence of the Prior of Taunton, and was purchased at the Dissolution by Humphrey Colles, who is said to have built a grand mansion here. Collinson states the mansion was built in the 17th century, and later passed through the female line to Stuart Goodenough. Lady Cooper extensively remodelled the house in the early 19th century. The only distinctive external feature is the mutilated second-floor window on the west front.
