Burnham Cottage The Antique Shop

Burnham Cottage and The Antique Shop are two houses dating from the early to mid 18th century, built with chequered brick that recases a 17th-century timber-framed structure. The buildings feature a ridge stack and a north end stack in the cross-wing, and they are arranged in a T-plan with two storeys and an attic.

The main range has four windows and a rubble stone plinth with a raised band. On the left side, Burnham Cottage has painted brickwork and 19th-century four-pane sash windows on either side of a blank window above a six-panel door, which is set in a raised beaded surround with a hood supported by brackets. The band is interrupted above the door. To the right, The Antique Shop features a single window range with recessed cyma-moulded stone mullion windows, and there are relieving arches above all three ground floor windows.

The cross-wing projects to the right and includes a stack at the angle, dentilled brick eaves, and a rendered south end wall facing the road. This wall has two-light flush cyma-moulded windows, one above and two below, flanking a glazed door. The windows in this section are re-used from Bulkington Mill and replace a 19th-century shop window with a sash above. The west side of the building is also chequered brick and features a hipped dormer, dentilled eaves, and two three-light flush cyma-moulded mullion windows above. There is a blocked two-light window on the ground floor to the left and a centre six-panel door in a raised moulded surround with a hood on brackets. The upper windows have leaded glass with a central sash, while the ground floor windows have brick voussoirs and raised stone keystones above. The north end stack is present, and a line of an earlier roof is visible at the north end. There is a single-storey pantiled outbuilding attached to the north.

Inside The Antique Shop, there is a heavy chamfered beam, a timber-framed party wall, and an 18th-century corner fireplace in the ground floor west room. The rear room of the cross-wing has a chamfered beam and a timber-lintel fireplace. It is said that there is a moulded fireplace on the rear wall of the first floor.
