The barns at Hill Barton are a fine example of estate building, dated 1896. They are constructed of local stone with brick dressings and a slate roof. Their relatively recent date is indicated by the use of concrete for the keystones in the arches over the openings. The north range and that part of the west range which abuts it consists of cow houses with an attached root house behind. The southern part of the west range consists of a corn barn (the round house has been demolished) and is finished by a small probably workshop section. The south range has lost most of its internal features but probably consisted of stables and a trap house with its entrance facing the road.
These buildings are certainly 'worthy' of conservation and lend themselves readily to conversion without too much alteration. The proposed conversion of these barns to seven dwellings is, therefore, recommended.
