Barnard House with forecourt railings and gate

Barnard House is a large, detached town house built in the early to mid-19th century. It features painted stucco with a slate roof that is hidden behind a parapet, along with rendered end chimneys. The house stands three storeys tall with an attic and has a four-window range, complete with a moulded cornice and a high plain parapet. There is one central gabled dormer from the 19th century located behind the parapet. The windows are four-pane horned sash types, although the ground floor windows have been replaced since 1981. The ground and first floor windows are adorned with later 19th-century stuccoed cornices supported by console brackets, while the second floor has shorter windows.

The doorway, situated in the third bay, features a later 19th-century stucco surround with a pediment resting on small consoles decorated with female masks. The side piers have thin rusticated vermiculated raised panels. The entrance includes a six-panel door with sunk panels and a large overlight. In front of the door, there is a large stone with a wrought iron boot-scraper.

The right end wall is rendered and sits over the roof of No 122 (Little Barnard House), while the left end is also rendered and lined, featuring two 20th-century windows on both the first and second floors. There is a straight joint leading to an added 19th-century rear northwest wing, which has a west side stack and a roof that is hipped to the north. The rubble stone of this wing shows remnants of colourwash, and there is a 20th-century window on each upper floor, along with a large recess on the north side that contains a wide 20th-century window. The ground floor has a lean-to adjoining a hipped lean-to on the northeast corner. The rear of the main house is made of colourwashed rubble stone and has a very long stair-light with a brick head, with the roof hipped at the northeast angle.

The forecourt is enclosed by early to mid-19th-century rails on a painted grey limestone dwarf wall. The wrought-iron railings have square uprights topped with spear-headed finials, and the gate follows a similar design. The details include well-crafted spearheads and standards with cast-iron urn finials, with the railings returning to the house at each end.

Inside, the house has been altered but still retains an earlier 19th-century staircase featuring straight balusters.
