John Burrill Homes

John Burrill Homes, located at Nos. 6 and 7 Water End, is one of three blocks of almshouses built between 1925 and 1931 by the architects Ward and Leckenby. The building is constructed of orange brick in English bond, featuring dressings and an eaves cornice made of moulded stone. It has a stone-coped tiled roof with brick and stone cornice stacks, and a gable end bay window topped with a half hipped roof of stone slates.

The plan of each house is L-shaped, with a central entrance and a small rear service wing. The exterior is a single-storey, six-bay range. The doorways are quoined and have shallow arched heads with moulded spandrels beneath stepped lintels. The windows are leaded casements with three mullioned lights. At the left end, there is a canted bay with a parapet, while the right end features a single-light window in a splayed surround. The gable end facing the street has a five-light canted bay window and a vertical slit light in a stone surround at the gable apex. The interiors have not been inspected.
