Description
Burrington Farm is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-16th century, with parts rebuilt and extended in the early and late 17th century, along with further alterations in the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries. The structure is partly timber-framed with painted brick infill on a rubble base, and partly constructed of rubble, featuring slate roofs and brick stacks on the south front and east end of the ridge. There is also a 17th-century brick stack at the center of the ridge, which has been partially rebuilt. The original layout was L-shaped, with the main section aligned east to west and a south wing. The main part was rebuilt in the early 17th century and extended to the west in the late 17th century, with additional bays added at each end in the 19th century. The building has two storeys and a cellar.
The original section features two rows of rectangular panels on each storey. The south wing has a jet-tied first floor supported by shaped brackets and a tie-beam truss with decorative latticed struts. The late 17th-century alterations include two rows of square panels on each storey.
On the south front elevation, most windows are mid-20th-century replacements. The original bay of the main part has a ground floor 2-light casement supported by two moulded corbels, likely original, with a plank weathering on shaped brackets; above this is a 2-light window. The south wing to the right features a ground floor 3-light casement that incorporates part of an original oriel window, with a first floor 3-light casement above, supported by an original old moulded corbel. To the right of the south wing, a single-bay rubble addition has a 3-light window with a cambered brick head on both floors. The 17th-century addition adjoining the left of the original part includes a 3-light ground floor casement with plank weathering, a 3-light first floor casement, and a single-light first floor casement. The rubble addition to the left has a half-hipped timber-framed porch on a rubble base, featuring a flush-panelled 19th-century door. The main entrance is now located at the rear of the original part, which has a larger similar porch and a half-glazed door.
