Burway Manor

Burway Manor is a house dating back to approximately 1600, with alterations in the 18th century and early 19th century, and a significant enlargement in 1884. Parts of the house are timber-framed and brick-cased in a Flemish bond pattern, and other sections are entirely brick with moulded bands. The roof is tiled, with decorative, moulded bargeboards.

The original core of the house, dating to around 1600, comprises an L-shaped layout, with a main range facing northeast and a cross-wing to the southwest, aligned northwest/southeast. In 1884, a block was added to the northwest, aligned northeast/southwest, featuring a shallower, lower cross-wing at its northeast end. The house is two stories throughout, with an irregular arrangement of windows.

The garden front shows the original 1600 block set back on the right, with two-light casement windows on the first floor and a tripartite sash window on the ground floor. A decorative Victorian timber verandah with balustrading and a tiled roof shelters the entrance. A 1884 block projects to the left, featuring decorative timber framing in the gable, a triangular bay window on the first floor, and a canted bay window with a monopitch roof on the ground floor; a coat of arms is displayed above. A large stack with two diamond shafts is positioned at the angle between the 1600 and 1884 blocks. The southeast front of the 1600 block displays a brick band. Windows are arranged as one-over-one sashes, with a casement above a taller casement, and a blocked wooden two-light mullion window is situated above a tall cambered-head casement. A very tall stack, featuring four diamond-plan shafts, rises between the main range and the cross-wing of the 1600 block.

The main entrance is located within a canted, gabled porch situated between the end gable of the original 1600 block and the taller 1884 range. The entrance front has an irregular layout with fenestration including a window beneath a deep, cambered hood supported by consoles.

Internally, one ground floor room retains an intersecting beamed ceiling with deep chamfers, broach end stops, and moulded plasterwork creating a coffered effect. Various spine beams in the 1600 block feature scroll stops. The 1600 section contains 17th-century panelling, two 17th-century panelled doors, an 18th-century corner cupboard, and several 18th-century fireplaces. A 19th-century open-well staircase is also present.
