Burwell Farmhouse

Burwell Farmhouse, now a house, was built in the late 17th century, with a refronting around 1800 and an earlier 17th-century wing to the right. The main part of the house is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and roll-moulded quoins, and has a gabled concrete tile roof with symmetrical end stacks finished in late 19th-century brick. It follows a central-staircase plan, and has two storeys and an attic, with a symmetrical five-window front. A bracketed flat stone hood covers an early 19th-century six-panelled door set in a beaded stone architrave. The windows are six-pane sashes set in plain ashlar surrounds. An ashlar storey band and cyma-moulded cornice run along the front, and there are two gabled roof dormers. The rear has six-pane sashes and an outshut to the rear right.

The 17th-century wing to the right was re-roofed in the early 19th century. It is two storeys high and has a four-window range to the right side, featuring 3-light stone-mullioned windows with chamfered and ovolo-moulded details. A plank door is located in a central mid-19th-century outshut, with similar mullioned windows to the rear and an early 19th-century sash window to the front. The wing has a stone slate roof, hipped around 1800.

Inside the front range, the dog-leg stairs have been remodelled. A room to the right has ovolo- and cyma-moulded beams and an open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer. The roof is of 3-bay butt-purlin construction. The wing to the right has deeply-chamfered beams. The roof was not inspected. Stone-flag floors are present throughout the building.
