Description

Burrow Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the 18th century, with an extension currently under construction as of 1987. The building is constructed from plastered local stone and flint rubble, with a stone rubble stack topped by 19th-century brick, and features a thatched roof. The cottage has a two-room plan that faces west, with the larger room on the left (north) end having a gable-end stack. A third room is being added to the right (south) end. It stands two storeys tall.

The exterior has irregular front fenestration, featuring two small late 19th-century casement windows with glazing bars on the ground floor and one on the first floor that rises slightly into the eaves. The front doorway, which is slightly right of centre, contains a 19th-century plank door. The roof is gable-ended on the left and half-hipped on the right. The walls of the extension include provisions for another front door and window. The interior was not available for inspection at the time of the survey.
