Description
Burgate House is an 18th-century house located in Hambledon, constructed of red brick with some blue headers and featuring a hipped plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys with attics, which are topped by two flat roof sash dormers. There are stacks at the rear on both the left and right sides. The house is designed with five bays, a plat band above the ground floor, and a wooden cornice with dentils at the eaves. The windows are 12-pane glazing bar sash windows, with five on the first floor and four on the ground floor, all set under gauged brick heads.
The entrance features an Ionic fluted pilaster door-case, which has been relocated from another site, complete with a pulvinated frieze. The half-glazed door is topped by a transom light with egg-shaped tracery intersected by a St. Andrews Cross. The return walls also have five bays and include Venetian shutters on the sash windows. There is an 18th-century staircase window at the rear and a 17th-century window in the basement cellar at the back. A rear wing was added in the 19th century and refaced in 1919.
Inside, the house boasts a fine early 18th-century staircase with twisted balusters and festoon scrolls on the tread ends, along with panelled doors and elegant door surrounds featuring dentilled cornices. The garden was originally designed by Gertrude Jekyll.
