Description

Burrs Farmhouse and the attached outbuilding are a late 17th-century farmhouse with a likely 18th-century outbuilding, both of which have been altered over time. The buildings are constructed from thinly-coursed sandstone and feature pantile roofs. The farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic and has three windows on the first floor. There is a later hipped-roof addition at the rear-left of the house, along with a 20th-century addition in the angle. The attached outbuilding is located at the front-right corner of the farmhouse.

The main range of the farmhouse has a chamfered plinth and ashlar quoins. The doorway on the far right features a four-pane overlight and an ashlar surround. To the right of this doorway is a 20th-century casement window that has a 17th-century lintel and dripstone. On the left side, there are two 20th-century casements positioned where original windows once were, as indicated by the remains of the original jambs, and between them is a small fire window. The 20th-century casements on the first floor have projecting stone sills. A brick stack is located at the right end, topped with stone tabling, while a similar ridge stack is above the fire window.

On the left return, the attic features an intact two-light chamfered mullioned window with a dripstone. The attached outbuilding has two boarded doors in bonded surrounds to the right of external stone steps, and a doorway on the far left with chamfered jambs and a wooden lintel, along with a casement window to its right. There is also a first-floor casement in the angle with the main range and a brick ridge stack with stone tabling. The raising of the eaves is clearly indicated on the right return.

Inside the farmhouse, the right ground-floor room has a bressumer beam with a shaped wooden bracket and a keyed archway on the right. The front door opens into a passage that has a chamfered, quoined doorway on each side. The rooms on the left feature back-to-back ashlar fireplaces and stop-chamfered ceiling beams.
