Old Bartows. Formerly known as: The Bourne, Bartow's Causeway, Tiverton. House. Early 19th century, probably a remodelling of an earlier building; later 19th century addition at right-hand end. Materials: rendered, solid walls (believed to be of stone and cob); addition of painted red brick. Converted stable building at right-hand end is of stone rubble. Slated roofs, that of the left-hand section hipped. Rendered chimneys with moulded caps at rear, to left, and on right gable end of middle section.
Plan: arranged in three sections with differing roof-lines, the right-hand section (the addition) set well back. The two left-hand sections are one room deep, each containing one ground-floor room; middle section has stair compartment at left-hand end and a back stair at the rear. Addition to right has single room (kitchen), with converted stable to right again.
Exterior: two storeys with cellar under the left-hand section; converted stable single-storey. The two earlier sections are four windows wide with open verandah on iron columns across the whole ground storey; this has a pent roof, partly glazed, partly slated, and partly covered with corrugated iron. A greenhouse has been built under it at the right-hand end. Front door, centrally placed, has two solid panels below and six glazed panes with margin-panes above. Windows have flush frames. Flanking the front door are two windows with 6-paned sashes, and at the left-hand end a pair of four-paned French windows with margin-panes. Upper storey windows have, from left, a 20th century mullioned-and-transomed metal casement, a pair of six-paned sashes, a two-light wooden casement with three panes per light, and another two-light wooden casement with four panes and margin-panes per light. Addition to right has altered windows in ground storey, but a pair of two-paned sashes in box-frames in the upper storey. Whole building has moulded wooden boards below the eaves. Right-hand return (of the brick addition) has in upper storey a window with six-paned sashes. Rear wall appears to have been heightened; in the earlier part of the building it reduces thickness sharply just below the ground floor ceiling. To ground storey of left-hand section (visible from Park Street) a small window with Gothic patterned glazing; in upper storey of middle section a fixed six-paned wooden sash. According to the owner there is a barred sash window in second storey of left side wall, not blocked on the inside.
Interior: good, simple early or mid 19th century detail. Wooden staircases with turned newels and thin, square-section balusters. Panelled doors, chimneypieces; the best of the latter in the left-hand upper-storey room, has a 19th century cast-iron grate with surround of coloured tiles. To ground storey, original side door (now concealed by an added toilet) with coloured glass in margin-panes. History: the house is not shown on Dunsford's map of 1790, but a smaller building does appear at the north end of the site on the tithe map of 1842.
