Burford House And Garden Wall Attached To The South East

Burford House, built in the early to mid 18th century, is reputed to have been constructed in 1728 for William Bowles, a Member of Parliament and owner of the Vauxhall glass works. The house was restored and altered around 1954 for John Treasure. It features red brick with brick storey bands and a brick parapet, topped with a plain-tile roof that has brick coped parapets and gables. The building has brick integral gable-end stacks along with lateral and axial stacks, and follows a double-pile plan with a rear parallel extension.

The north front displays a three-storey façade with a six-window range, featuring tall 9/9 sash windows on the ground and first floors, and 6/6 sash windows on the second floor, all with gauged brick lintels. An early 19th-century central projecting porch showcases Doric columns and an open pediment. The front door is set within panelled reveals and consists of a pair of glazed panelled doors topped with a fanlight featuring radial glazing bars.

Although later brick wings on the east and west sides have been demolished, the east side now has 20th-century multi-pane casements on the ground and first floors. The west side includes a 20th-century first-floor sash window and ground-floor French windows flanked by casements, with a terrace formed from the demolished wing, incorporating stone from the base of a medieval chimney.

At the rear, there is a three-storey, five-window range of 6/6 sashes with gauged brick lintels, and a central restored projecting porch that mirrors the front porch, featuring a glazed door and fanlight with festoon and radial glazing bars.

Inside, the house contains notable panelling in the ground-floor rooms. The entrance hall features complete wall panelling, moulded cornices, six-panelled doors, and an elliptical arched panelled arcade.

Additionally, there is a garden wall made of brick, approximately 3 metres high with weathered coping, extending from the south-east corner of Burford House approximately 80 metres to the east and then 40 metres to the south.
