Description
Court Barton is a house, possibly a manor, dating from the 16th century, with enlargements made in the late 18th and late 19th centuries. The original section is constructed of random rubble, uncoursed, with quoins on the north gable end. It features a steeply pitched slate roof and a brick stack on the south gable end. A stair turret projects above the flipper slate roof of the late 19th-century random rubble northeast wing, while the lower south wing is made of red brick and has its own slate roof. The building has an L-shaped plan with the original block facing west, the late 18th-century wing attached to the south, and the 19th-century wing in the northeast corner.
The west front is two storeys high with three bays on the left and one bay on the right, displaying irregular 19th-century fenestration. The left window is set under the eaves, with two lower windows to the right. The ground floor features a half-glazed door at the centre, surrounded by a late 18th-century pedimented stone Doric surround, and a gabled entrance to the right-hand block. The left return gable end has a four-light mullioned and transomed window with ovolo moulding and an arch-headed design. The ground floor retains a moulded architrave with an inset tiff window. There is a three-bay 19th-century wing beyond this. The interior has not been seen. The North aisle of the Church of St. Michael in Creech belonged to the Court Barton Estate, as noted in Kelly's Directory from 1897.
