Description
Burpham Court House is a house dating from the late 16th century, which was restored and extended in the 1930s. It features a timber frame with exposed red brick infill and a plain tiled roof. The building has an L-shaped plan with a gable front cross wing that projects to the left end. It stands two storeys high with attics in the gables and has a rectangular stack with an oversailing top located to the left at the junction of the cross wing, along with additional stacks at the rear.
The left side has a tall gable bay, while the right end has a lower gabled bay and a large gable dormer in the centre. The windows are wood framed with leaded casements, including a 2-light attic window on the left and a 4-light window below on each floor of the left cross wing. There is a 3-light ovolo mullioned window on the first floor centre in the attic, and another 2-light attic window on the right. The first floor also features a 3-light casement to the left of centre, a casement in the centre, and two to the right. The ground floor has four windows, including one 5-light window and two in the right-hand bay. A ribbed door is located to the left in a recessed porch that is angled with the cross wing.
At the rear, there is a large offset crow-stepped stack and an extension in the centre. The house is illustrated in "Old Cottages and Farmhouses of Surrey" by W. Galsworthy Davie and W. Curtis Green, Plate 98, as Hurst Cottages (Burpham Court House) from 1908.
