Description
Burrington House is an early 19th-century vicarage, now a house. It is constructed of rendered stone with limestone dressings, with a hipped slate roof and rendered stacks. The house has a double-depth plan with an entrance hall leading to a rear stair hall, and a service range extending to the rear left, forming an L-shaped layout. A 1930s extension adjoins the rear right side of the building.
The front elevation is symmetrical with five windows. It features a late 20th-century glazed door set within a pedimented architrave. The windows are 6/6 pane sashes, topped by a moulded cornice beneath a parapet. The right return has a tripartite sash window above a tripartite French window. Early 19th-century sashes are found on the left return, while the rear elevation has a moulded door architrave leading to a bowed entrance bay of a single-storey 1930s extension.
The interior boasts fine quality early 19th-century joinery, including panelled shutters, some with Gothic heads. Mahogany doors are fitted with brass fittings, while the open-well staircase has fret-cut brackets, turned balusters, and a wreathed handrail with ivory inlay to the newel. The architraves in a rear-right room incorporate Perpendicular-style colonettes. The cornices are finely moulded and enriched, particularly in the hall where there are paterae to the modillioned cornice and rear-right rooms. A Gothick-style marble fireplace is found in a ground-floor room to the right, and a classical coloured marble fireplace is in a first-floor room to the right. Other rooms have simpler, early 19th-century fireplaces.
