Description
Burrow Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 16th century, with later alterations and extensions. It is constructed of cob with a stone plinth, rendered, and has a gabled-end slate roof. The original layout was a three-room through passage plan, with the lower end located to the right of the passage. The Hall was originally open, but the lower end has always been two storeys. The original roof of the inner room has not survived. There is a stack at the right-hand end and an axial stack at the upper end of the Hall. The building is two storeys throughout.
The front of the farmhouse features a four-window range, with all first-floor windows being two-lights under small gables. Three of these windows are boarded, while one is hipped and slated. There are two doorways on the ground floor; the one to the right, which is under a canopy, is slightly to the right of the original passage entrance. The opposing rear passage door has been blocked. The ground floor also includes three two and three-light windows, all of which are 20th-century timber casements.
On the side elevations, the left-hand rear wing has one hornless timber sash window with ten panes in each sash, while the right-hand wing contains four late 19th-century two-light timber casement windows. The backs of the wings do not have windows, and there is an outshut between them. The roof features a late-medieval structure over the Hall and lower end, with two lower-end trusses that are clean, while the Hall principals are smoke-blackened. The left-hand truss is closed and smoke-blackened only on the Hall side. The roof has trenched purlins, with apexes that are morticed and side pegged, although the diagonal ridge-piece is missing. The principals, including one lower end truss with only one blade, no longer support the present 19th-century roof.
