Description

Burches Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1580, with alterations made in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, topped with handmade red clay tiles. The building features a 4-bay long-jetty design facing south, with an axial stack positioned to the right of the center and a 19th-century external stack at the left end. There is a 19th-century rear wing constructed of red brick, which has an end stack. The house is two storeys high.

On the ground floor, there are two late 19th-century sash windows with six lights and one early 20th-century square bay window with casements. The first floor contains two similar sash windows and one early 20th-century casement window. The entrance features a 19th-century four-panel door with a shallow fretted canopy above it. The eaves are adorned with plaster coving.

The building has an underbuilt jetty, with jowled posts and close studding. Inside, there are chamfered axial beams that are unstopped, a chamfered transverse beam with lamb's tongue stops, and chamfered joists in the 'hall' area that also have lamb's tongue stops. The right bay has plain joists of horizontal section, while the axial beam is boxed in the left bay. The roof has not been inspected.
