The first room here has an axial stack backing onto the main kitchen at the back which has a gable-end stack. A 1-room plan extension to rear of the left end has a gable-end stack; it may be secondary. House is 2 storeys with a basement under the front. Exterior: symmetrical 3-window front is largely original. The outer bays have 16- pane sashes flanking a first floor 12-pane sash over the central doorway which contains its original panelled door (with inserted C20 window) behind a flat-roofed porch with moulded entablature and panelled square-section posts. Plain eaves although the gutter is C19 with cast iron lions head masks over the joints. The roof is gable-ended to left and to right runs continuously over adjoining Thorn Cottage (q.v). Towards the rear of the left is another C19 doorway; this one containing a 6-panel door with a pedimented doorcase. The rear windows are mostly C19 16-pane sashes although there are some C20 casements with glazing bars in the kitchen block. Interior: contains original joinery and other detail including a geometric open string staircase with slender turned balusters with blocks. The kitchen has a large fireplace. Although partly blocked some of the chamfered oak lintel is exposed. Roof not inspected. Court Barton was probably built with adjoining Thorn Cottage (q.v).
