Description
Burnopfield House is a house, now divided into three separate dwellings, dating to the third quarter of the 18th century. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar, with the wing and rear walls being coursed and squared, and rubble construction, incorporating quoins and ashlar dressings. The roof is covered with Welsh slate, featuring stone gable copings.
The main house is a three-storey, five-bay design. The central entrance has a glazed door set within a lugged architrave, topped by a broken pediment. Late 19th-century sash windows are set within architraves; there’s a pedimented lugged architrave over the window above the door. A continuous first-floor band runs alongside the door pediment, and a second band sits immediately above the window sill level. The top cornice is followed by a coped parapet featuring a central balustrade and end pilasters. The house has tall, corniced end chimneys built on plinths. A roof light has been inserted.
The two-storey, four-bay right wing features a glazed French door in the third bay, set within an architrave. It has renewed flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills to the late 19th-century sash windows. The interior has not been inspected.
