Burlorne Eglos Farmhouse And Adjoining Barn

A farmhouse with an adjoining barn, dating from around the late 16th or early 17th century, with a barn added around the late 18th century and extended in the late 19th or early 20th century. The farmhouse is constructed of stone rubble, with a rag slate roof with gable ends. It features a brick end stack on the left, a truncated stone rubble front lateral hall stack near the centre, and a projecting stone rubble rear lateral stack to the right. The original plan consisted of three rooms and a through passage, with a lower end on the left heated by an end stack, the hall centrally heated by a front lateral stack, and an inner room on the right heated by a rear lateral stack. A 19th-century outshut extension runs across the rear, and a smaller 18th-century outbuilding is situated on the right-hand gable end. In the late 19th or early 20th century, a two-story barn was added across the right-hand end, projecting to the front and forming an overall L-shaped plan.

The front of the farmhouse has a regular facade with two storeys and four window bays, with PVC windows set in earlier openings. The front door, a circa early 20th-century four-panel design, is located to the left of the centre. PVC windows are present to the left and right, with a 20th-century timber window on the far right. Four PVC windows and one blocked window are on the first floor. Two stone rubble buttresses are visible on the front. The barn attached to the right-hand gable end has a gable end facing the front.

Inside, a wide passage is flanked by thin partition walls. The ceiling beams in the lower end and hall were replaced in the late 19th or 20th century, although the lower, left-hand room has a large waney, roughly chamfered beam. The hall includes a 20th-century chimney-piece and a deep bay on its right-hand side. A blocked opening exists between the hall and the inner room, close to the front end of the stone rubble cross wall. The inner room features a circa late 17th-century plaster ceiling of fine quality, featuring a large circular pattern and an inner circle with a torus moulded rib, along with a moulded plaster floral trail with a central floral motif, and a circa late 17th or early 18th-century moulded plaster cornice. A circa mid-19th-century balustrade is present on the dog-leg staircase. The roof structure has apparently been largely replaced, although the barn roof contains roughly cut and reused timber pieces nailed at the apices, with a later structure above.
