Burnthouse Farmhouse

Burnthouse Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 16th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is timber framed, plastered, and has a weatherboarded dado, topped with a thatched roof. The building has four bays facing west, featuring an axial stack located one bay from the left end and a 19th-century internal stack in the right bay. There is a single-storey extension with a flat roof added to the rear in the 20th century. The farmhouse is one storey high with attics and has four 20th-century casement windows, plus an additional casement in a gabled dormer. The front entrance is accessed through a 20th-century gabled porch. The roof is half-hipped at the right end.

Inside, the structure includes jowled posts, curved tension bracing set within heavy studs, chamfered axial beams, and plain joists of horizontal section supported on pegged clamps. The original rebated floorboards remain intact. There are three diamond mortices from an unglazed window located in the right return wall. The roof, originally built in crownpost construction, has been rebuilt in a clasped purlin form.
