Statement of Interest

Bartlehill may originally have been a simple 3-bay farmhouse, subsequently doubled in size by the full-width entrance range to the front. This range retains much of its original detailing - the corniced tripartites and recessed entrance being particularly notable. Rutherfurd notes a Thomas Penny as farmer here in 1866.
