Description
Kittisford Barton is a house dating from the late 15th century to early 16th century. It features a rendered exterior, a slate roof, and stone stacks. The building has two storeys and is arranged in a layout of three bays, with paired four-light ovolo moulded wooden mullions in the outer bays on both the first and ground floors. The other windows are three-light mullions, and there is a four-light window in the gabled porch with a round-headed entry. A late 19th-century French window is located on the ground floor to the left.
Inside, there is a four-centred wooden arched doorway leading to the service end on the right, with chamfered beads and run-outs. The dining room features an enriched plaster mantelpiece displaying a coat of arms and the initials WD, dated to 1627, which has been brought down from the main bedroom. The sitting room has early 18th-century bolection moulded panelling that conceals a late 16th-century plaster frieze behind, which is visible over the mantelpiece behind a hinged panel.
