Description
Burton Grange is a large farmhouse, now a house, likely built around 1850, but it stands on the site of an earlier farmhouse. The building is constructed of small coursed and squared limestone with brick dressings, including flush quoins and brick stacks, and features a hipped low-pitch slate roof. The original structure is a large L-plan with a central stair hall accessed from the east, and a lower wing added at the back right, forming a tight 'V'-plan.
The entrance front has two storeys and an attic, with four windows. On the ground floor, there is a canted bay window with 1:2:1 casements beneath a lead hipped roof, along with two 2-light windows. The first floor features four 2-light windows and a central hipped 2-light dormer. The left return front is similar, with two windows and two hipped dormers, while the hipped back end has a 2-light window above a canted bay, mirroring the front. All the casements are small-paned cast-iron, which gives the building a cohesive and distinctive look.
At the center of the front is a wide gabled porch with sidelights that covers a 6-panel fielded door topped by a multipane transom light. The additional back wing is two storeys high, gabled, and has a large gable stack. The principal block features a large ridge stack on the south wing. To the right, there is a set-back slate block that is hipped towards the house but gabled at the outer end. This block has two storeys, with a 2-light casement and two plank loading doors above a 2-light small pane casement, along with two plank doors separated by a 6-pane sash window. The interior has not been fully inspected, but it includes a central stair hall and one large bressumer over a fire opening.
