Description
Burn House and Burn House Cottage is a gamekeeper's house with an attached worker's cottage, built around 1860. The structure is made of coursed rubble with tooled-and-margined quoins and tooled ashlar dressings, topped with a roof of large blue slates and a yellow brick stack on a stone base.
The east elevation features one storey plus attics and consists of three bays. The central bay, which is slightly set forward, has a three-light bay window and a three-light window above it. The gable displays wavy bargeboards with a moulded pendant. The right bay has two steps leading to a vertical-panelled door set under a pointed arch, accompanied by a single-light window to the right. The left bay contains a three-light window, and both flanking bays have gabled dormers with two-light windows and similar bargeboards. There is a cruciform ridge stack.
On the left return, there are two bays; the gabled right bay has a two-light window and decorative bargeboards. The left bay, which is set back, features a vertical-panelled door under a pointed arch in a square frame, with a single-light window to the left. All openings have chamfered surrounds with moulded hoods, and the windows are either eight- or ten-pane casements.
