Description

Burway House, originally a free school and later converted into a house around 1860, is now divided into flats. It features an early 19th-century rebuild of an earlier structure. The building is constructed of painted brick with painted stone rubble on the rear wing and has a slate roof that is hipped to the east, with integral brick gable-end stacks. The square plan consists of two ranges that run parallel to the road.

The exterior has three storeys. The south front displays a three-storey, three-window range with tall 2-light 19th-century casement windows, which have painted flat lintels and raised keyblocks. The right-hand ground-floor window has been replaced with a slate-roofed canted bay window. There is a projecting enclosed slate-roofed entrance porch located at the centre right, featuring a pedimented gable on consoles, a partly glazed panelled door, and a top light.

On the west side, there is a casement window at each storey in the rear range, along with a single casement at the upper level of the front range. The east side has a three-storey, two-window range of casement windows set in either brick segmental arched openings or plain openings with flat lintels and raised keystones. The rear shows stone rubble on the left and brick on the right, with a brick dentil course at the eaves and 20th-century casements.

The property is complemented by cast-iron railings and gates attached to both sides of the porch, which extend along the west boundary. These railings feature arrow-head standards and spike-headed main standards.
