COLEBROOKE SS 70 SW 2/74 Land send Barton Farmhouse - including cob wall adjoining to east
- II
Farmhouse. Early C16 with later C16 and C17 improvements; thoroughly refurbished and much-altered in 1976. Plastered cob on rubble footings; stone rubble stacks with 1976 brick tops; 1976 slate roof (formerly thatch). Originally a 3-room-and-through-passage plan house facing east, probably with service room at left (south) end. C17 service crosswing on right (north) end projecting forward. Right end room, the supposed inner room, has end stack and left end room has front lateral stack. Hall stack demolished. Crosswing has front end stack. 2 storeys. Irregular 3-window front of 1976 casements with glazing bars and contemporary doors, the main door left of centre and French windows rear left end. Similar 1-window front on inner side of crosswing. Main block roof hipped to left and crosswing is gable-ended. Interior was rearranged in 1976 when an oak plank-and-muntin screen and all ceiling beams removed. The only early feature exposed on ground floor is the large C17 granite and volcanic stone fireplace with soffit-chamfered oak lintel in supposed inner room. Other early features may be hidden behind later plaster. The early roof however does survive, and shows work of different C16 and C17 builds. Although the feet of the trusses are boxed in the earlier trusses are almost certainly jointed crucks. The earliest truss is the northern hall truss which has a shaped and soffit-chamfered collar rising in the centre. Below are slots for removed arch braces. The truss appears to have created a most unusual ogee arch. To tie south, a possibly later hall truss, has a simple straight collar and a similar truss further south appears to have secondary infill. The roof structure is thoroughly sooted indicating that the original house was open to the roof, heated by an open hearth fire and probably divided by low partition screens. North of the ogee truss is a secondary (probably late cl6-early C17) framed crosswall and beyond (north) a C17 A-frame truss with pegged lap-joined collar. Roof oforceswing inaccessible. From right front corner of crosswing a plastered cob wall with slate coping extends eastwards along right side of front garden. It includes a high C20 doorway with gabled and slate roof. It also includes a series of 5 bee boles.
