Burrow'S Farmhouse

ST 11 SE CLAYHIDON 6/4 Burrow's Farmhouse - II Farmhouse. C17, with later alterations and extensions. Random rubble chert; gable- end and hipped corrugated iron roof, with the thatch surviving beneath. Originally a 3 room, through-passage plan house; the service end, to the left of the passage, is connected to a lower range of farm buildings. The inner room projects forward as a result of the addition in the C19 of a dairy. The hall and service end have been widened to allow for the addition of a rear passage. End stack heats service; hall heated by axial stack backing onto passage. Rendered brick shafts. Inner room unheated. 2 storeys.

Wide doorway to passage, with partially glazed door. A slight bulge to the right of the passage probably marks the site of a former newel stair. Dairy with hipped roof; 3-light casement window to first floor; 3-light guaged ventilator below. Rear: some C19 casements, otherwise all C20. C19 porch with fancy bargeboarding. Interior: Service end with roughly hewn ceiling cross beam; fireplace lintel with shallow chamfer. Hall: 3 deeply chamfered ceiling cross beams with step stops.
