Burdenwell Manor And Cottage Adjoining North-East

Burdenwell Manor and the adjoining cottage to the north-east is a house that was formerly a farmhouse. It likely has a core from the 16th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of rendered and colourwashed stone, with an impainted polyphant and granite porch, and features a slate roof. The left gable end chimney is made of unrendered slatestone and freestone rubble, while the right gable end chimney is polyphant with a scallop moulded cap.

The house has a single depth plan that is two rooms wide with a cross passage. There is a flat-roofed rear extension with a 20th-century gable over the stairwell that contains various service rooms. The manor is two storeys high and has a three-window range, with a central gabled, two-storey porch. The porch features a thin granite lintel at the entrance, a large slate-hung gable, and a 20th-century sash window with three panes per sash and glazing bars. To the left of the porch are two 20th-century ground floor sash windows, and to the right are two taller 20th-century sashes with glazing bars. The first floor windows are also 20th-century sashes with three panes per sash and glazing bars, located in later gabled, slate-hung dormers.

Inside, the cross passage has a slate floor, and there is a late 17th to early 18th-century framed newel staircase with turned balusters. The ground floor room to the right features white-painted early 18th-century panelling throughout, with a dentil cornice and niches on either side of a pedimented, partially-blocked fireplace. The house is said to have had a rear lateral stack and was formerly home to the Granville family.

Adjoining Burdenwell Manor at the right gable is a late 17th to early 18th-century cottage. This cottage has a two-storey, single depth plan that is one room wide, with a truncated projecting right gable end stack and a cloam oven. The first floor window is located under a raking roof that projects slightly above the eaves line. The external rendering of the manor causes the porch to dominate, while the reduced chimney stack of the cottage diminishes its visual impact. The buildings are included for their group value.
