Description
Burn House is a house, likely originally a mill, dating from the early 18th century with some alterations. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with quoins, ashlar dressings, and a boulder plinth. The roof is made of graduated Lakeland slate, while the porch roof is covered with Welsh slate. The building has three storeys and features two wide bays, with a porch attached to the left corner. The central gabled porch has renewed double six-panel doors, and the ground and first floors have 20th-century casements with lattice leading, although parts of the original stone surrounds remain. The top floor windows are in plain stone surrounds. The steeply-pitched roof is topped with two banded stone end chimneys on plinths. On the right side, there is a blocked three-light stone-mullioned window, which has had its mullions removed and features a chamfered surround. The walls are very thick. The interior has not been inspected.
