Description
John Burrill Homes is a group of three blocks of almshouses built between 1925 and 1931 by the architectural firm Ward and Leckenby. The buildings are constructed of orange brick in English bond, featuring stone dressings and a moulded stone eaves cornice. The roofs are tiled and have brick and stone cornice stacks.
The structure is a single storey with a nine-bay range, where the central bay has a gabled first floor. The central entrance is framed with quoining and has a shallow arched head with moulded spandrels beneath a stepped lintel, topped with a commemorative panel. The other doorways are similar but do not have panels.
On either side of the central entrance, there are canted five-light bay windows with stone sills, mullions, and coped parapets. The intermediate windows are three-light casements set in stone surrounds. Above the gable, there is a three-light oriel window surmounted by a finial. The interiors have not been inspected.
