SS44NE Damage Barton 853-1/1/1 15/06/51 (Formerly Listed as: LEE Damage Barton including ancillary buildings and courtyard wall)
GV II*
Farmhouse. A complicated building history: C16 (or earlier) origins, altered and extended in C17 (probably c1656 when some of the farm buildings were constructed: see Damage Barton, barn) and with later modifications. Rubble local slate, rendered; Welsh slate roof. PLAN: The house is now a 4-unit building comprising 3 rooms in series and a cross wing. One room and the wing are under a considerably lower roof line than the others. The units under the lower roof line probably formed the original hall and a higher-end wing (which internal evidence shows to be a separate build); the through passage lies within the lower end which was raised in the C17 when the fourth unit was also added. EXTERIOR: Front (ie now facing the principal farmbuildings, north): irregular fenestration. Passage entrance with wide doorway in early surround and porch with Tuscan columns. To left a window of 4 lights, and above two of 3 lights (the lintels at eaves level), all with stone mullions and surrounds with ovolo mouldings. The added room to the extreme left stands forward a little under a catslide roof and has a separate doorway under penticed hood, the door quarter glazed; 2-light window to left, and a 3-light window to 1st floor. That part of the elevation under the lower roof line has 2-light gabled dormer over Yorkshire sliding sash; projection to right under catslide and wing (with shallow external end stack), both elements with Yorkshire sliding sash windows. Rear: two large stacks, one internal with set-offs (to E), the other external with penticed extension and outbuilding at foot. Rear passage doorway with pegged and moulded surround. To the right a 3-light ovolo-moulded window with stone mullions and surround. Various later lean-to additions. INTERIOR: flag floor to passage which is divided from the adjoining rooms by internal stone walls; ledge doors. Room to west (possibly the former hall) has ceiling beams with large ovolo or quadrant moulded chamfers and spear-head stops; wing contains timber newel stair. Other rooms with roughly chamfered ceiling beams. Door between two left-hand (E) rooms, panelled, in an ovolo-moulded surround with high-set stops. Upper floor with traces of plaster cornice work. Large difference in floor level between right-hand (E) rooms of main range.
