Description

Barrock House is primarily a mid to late 19th century building that incorporates elements from various periods, including a small harled late 18th century dwelling at the rear. The exterior features coursed rubble with tooled ashlar dressings. The main southeast frontage is asymmetrical, consisting of a lower L-plan block on the right with a swept dormer, and a taller central two-bay section with a full-height canted bay on the right. This is connected to the recessed gable end of the southwest-facing block by a crowstepped gabled bay. A porch is located in the re-entrant angle formed at the south, featuring a re-set coat of arms above the door.

The windows mainly consist of 8- and 12-pane glazing, with some featuring heavy moulded wood mullions. The building has tall ashlar coped stacks with diamond flues, arranged either singly or in groups of two or three, and crowsteps adorn the gables and most dormer heads, all under slate roofs. At the rear, there is a small late 18th century, two-storey, three-bay dwelling linked to the main house by a mock timber-framed passage.

Inside, the house retains original later 19th century fittings, including a panelled hall and a chimney piece flanked by fluted Corinthian pilasters. The drawing room features Gothic detailing on the delicately carved chimney piece.
