Front Boundary Wall, Gate Piers and Library at Burton Manor

The front boundary wall, gate piers, and library at Burton Manor were built in 1904, designed by Sir Charles Nicholson for Henry Neville Gladstone. The structure incorporates parts of an early 19th-century wall. The early 19th-century wall is made of red brick in English garden wall bond, resting on a three-course sandstone plinth, and topped with flat sandstone coping. The early 20th-century wall is constructed from sandstone rubble with steeply weathered saddleback coping and features ashlar gate piers.

The library is built from rock-faced sandstone and has a hipped slate roof. The early 19th-century wall reaches a height of up to 43 brick courses. The library has a single-storey, three-bay front that projects forward from the flanking boundary wall. On the right side, there is a single-storey flat-roofed extension that sits in the re-entrant with the wall. The main part of the library is defined by pilaster strips that flank recessed multi-paned cross windows with stone sills. The left return has a similar window. The extension features a single round-headed light with cast-iron lattice glazing at the front and a semicircular-headed multi-paned window on the right return. There is a brick dentilled eaves cornice.

The entrance gate piers are square and topped with moulded caps and ball finials. Each side of the carriageway has piers that are connected by stone lintels, with boarded wicket gates beneath. The flanking screen walls are curved and include similar intermediate piers. The interior of the library was not inspected. The early 19th-century brick wall likely remains from Burton Hall, which was built in 1805 and preceded the current Burton Manor.
