Description
Burford Farmhouse is a house, originally a farmhouse, dating to the 17th century, with a later 17th or early 18th century addition, and 19th and 20th century alterations. The construction is timber-framed and plastered, with a brick and flint plinth, and painted exterior. It has plain tiled hipped roofs. The building originally comprised three units, with a projecting wing added to the east, creating a north-south range to the rear. A tall square ridge stack and a T-shaped rear stack, partly plastered, are prominent features.
The east elevation has a coved plastered cornice. The main entrance is situated in the angle between the main range and the wing, featuring 20th-century double-glazed panelled doors beneath a shallow flat roof supported on console brackets. A similar garden door is to the left. Ground floor windows are flush-framed twelve-paned hung sashes, with four matching windows on the first floor.
The interior retains largely 19th-century details, including exposed stop-chamfered ceiling beams in the rear wing. An 18th-century cupboard, panelled with fluted pilasters, is found in the south-west room.
