Burford News

Burford News is a house with shop premises that dates from the late medieval period and was remodeled in the 18th century or early 19th century. The front is rendered over a timber frame and features coped verges on a Cotswold stone roof. To the left, there is an ashlar corniced chimney that actually belongs to the Bull Hotel. The building is L-shaped, originally only one room deep, and has three storeys, an attic, and a cellar. It includes one gabled dormer and two wide-paned sash windows with architraves.

Inside, there is evidence of jettied upper floors, heavily braced posts and beams on the ground and first floors, and cill plates on the front and rear posts, with chamfered joints on the first floor. The first floor features a Tudor arched fireplace with a wide frieze and a smaller Tudor-arched fireplace with similar detail in the rear extension. There is also a well or cistern below of considerable diameter. At the back, there is a two-storey extension with three bays, featuring a timber-framed first floor, and a further one-storey and attic extension with three bays.
