Description
Burton Garth is an early 19th-century house located in Great Hormead. It features a timber frame set on a black stucco plinth, with roughcast walls and a steep thatched roof. This small two-storey house faces west and consists of two cells, with a central door and a red brick internal gable chimney at the north end that serves the ground floor only. The west front has two windows on each floor, with two-light flush casement windows on the first floor and rectangular two-light oriel windows below, all linked by a hipped red tiled pentile roof that shelters the door. There is a lean-to rear extension, and the side-purlin roof has a dripboard across the south gable, supported on the ends of the wallplates.
