Description
Burgh Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, with additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed, finished with colourwashed render, and has a plain tile roof. The building is two storeys high and features a three-cell baffle-entry plan, along with later extensions that create an L-shaped layout.
On the entrance front, there is a 20th-century porch with a hipped roof located to the left of the centre, which has a half-glazed door. To the left of the porch are outshuts with flat and hipped roofs. On the ground floor to the right of the porch, there are a 2-light and a 3-light casement window, and further to the right, there is another 20th-century outshut. The first floor has four 2-light windows in the central section and an additional 2-light window on the right side, which belongs to an extension featuring a catslide roof that follows the angle of the hipped roof. Slightly projecting to the right is another addition with a gabled and a flat roof, which includes a 2-light window at the first floor level. The house has an axial stack with three diamond-section flues.
At the rear, there is a half-glazed doorway on the left, sheltered by an early 20th-century gabled trellis porch. To the right of this door are two 3-light casement windows, and on the left, there is a 2-light casement window. The first floor features three 2-light casement windows, and the roof has three gabled dormer windows, each with two lights, pargetted plaster sides, moulded frames, and shaped bargeboards. To the far right, there is a single-storey 20th-century addition with a window containing three casement lights. On the left side, in the catslide lean-to, there is a half-glazed ground floor door and a 2-light casement window on the first floor. Projecting at the extreme left is a gabled single-storey wing that has three 2-light casement windows facing the garden. All the windows on this front date from the late 19th or 20th century and feature 4-centred heads to the lights.
