Description
Burton Hall is a hall house dating from the late 18th century to the mid-19th century. The building is three storeys high with a low-pitched roof and a cement-rendered exterior. The external appearance is generally plain, with small sash windows. The front of the building has been significantly altered, with the original main block forming a shallow "L" shape. A single-storey section was added around 1930, along with a projecting entrance hall featuring a shallow porch supported by four Tuscan columns. The entrance door has a reeded surround and an overlight. The only other decorative element is a moulded eaves cornice. The garden front is divided into three sections: two bays to the left, a single-bay projection, a further three bays, and to the right of these, a single-storey wing with two canted bay windows.
Attached outbuildings include a dairy with a tiled, octagonal, domed roof, and a small, now derelict and roofless, Gothic chapel. The interior has been altered but retains original character in some rooms, such as the ante room, drawing room, and dining room on the ground floor. These rooms have plaster cornices featuring Greek motifs dating from the 1820s and 1830s, along with original doorcases and fireplaces.
