Place Barton House was Listed on 26th January 1987. It was originally a farmhouse built in the mid 19th century with stone rubble walls and a hipped slate roof. Rendered brick stack at left-hand end and axial stack to main block ; similar end stack to right-hand wing. Double depth plan of front block with parallel rear wings of equal size. At front is large heated room to left with stairhall to its right and smaller heated room beyond. At the rear of this block is a large heated room to the right. Probably service rooms to its left and in rear wings. Two storeys with cellar. Almost symmetrical 3-window front of original small paned 3-light casements with stone arches above. Central bay breaks forward slightly with porch supported at front on wooden pillars which has deep moulded cornice and hipped roof. Two parallel wings run back from either side each projects outwards slightly from the main block and also preserves the original windows. At the rear a wall joins the two wings with a central doorway forming a small courtyard which has had lean-tos built onto the house walls. Interior not inspected but believed to contain original features such as staircase and fireplaces. This building has a very unaltered exterior and appears to preserve much of its original plan form.
