4/85 Luton Barton House

GV II

House, formerly farmhouse. Late medieval origins, remodelled and extended in the early C17, altered at the left (north) end in the C18 or C19. Whitewashed rendered cob and stone rubble; thatched roof half-hipped at left end, gabled at right end with plain ridge, rear wing half-hipped at end; right end stack, back to back fireplaces in an axial stack to left of centre. Plan: T plan. West-facing main range, 3 rooms wide, with the remains of a through passage to right of centre. The right hand room is heated from an end stack, the 2 left hand rooms from the axial stack. An unheated rear wing at right angles to the main range is unheated. The house originated as a late medieval open hall of which 2 blackened trusses survive. The wing, also of cruck construction, may be medieval as well. The house was probably floored in the late C16/early C17 when the right end stack was added; the axial stack to left of centre appears to be part of a post C17 rebuilding or alteration at this end of the house. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4 window front with a C19 panelled front door to the former through passage to right of centre with a probably C19 hipped porch canopy, 3 and 4-light timber casement windows with glazing bars, probably late C19 or C20. Interior: Plank and muntin screens to the passage, the right hand screen incomplete, the left hand screen (higher side) with the remains of a blocked doorframe. The right hand room is a lower end parlour with a chamfered crossbeam and a high quality fireplace with moulded Beerstone jambs and a massive stone lintel. The room to the loft of the passage has a ceiling of intersecting moulded beams. Integral with the ceiling beams, about a metre in front of the stack is the head beam of a plank and muntin screen indicating either that the present axial stack is part of an enlargement of the room (perhaps replacing a lateral stack) or that the moulded beams are entirely re-used. The fireplace has a massive late C19 grate. Roof: 2 sooted trusses, presumably crucks, survive over the right and centre of the main range, the rafters have been replaced. The rear wing has a side-pegged jointed cruck roof structure with mortised collars and may be early C16. A handsome traditional house of medieval origins. Group value with Salters Farmhouse opposite.
