Description

Burrows Farmhouse is a house that likely dates from the 16th and 17th centuries, with later alterations and additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. It has a treble range design, primarily constructed of timber framing and rough rendering, topped with red plain tiled roofs. The building is two storeys high and has a cellar. It features a four-window range of small paned vertical sliding sashes, each with pentice boards above. The original entrance is a six-panel door with a flat canopy supported by brackets.

To the left of the main house is a single-storey brewhouse that includes a copper and a bread oven, a horizontal sliding sash window, and a red brick chimney stack. There are off-centre red brick chimney stacks, with the off-centre stack possibly containing an original back-to-back fireplace behind modern fireplaces. The interior includes stop-chamfered beams throughout, a late 18th or early 19th-century staircase, and a fine corner cupboard featuring a lion mask and an internal painted dome. The original floorboards are still present, along with 17th-century windows and a notable iron Venetian window at the rear, which has one pane inscribed with "Eliz. Rayner 1776." Various other original features can also be found throughout the house.
