Description
Burrow's Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has undergone later alterations and extensions. It is constructed of random rubble chert and features a gable-end and hipped corrugated iron roof, with thatch still visible underneath. The original layout was a three-room, through-passage plan, with the service end on the left connected to a lower range of farm buildings. A dairy was added in the 19th century, causing the inner room to project forward. The hall and service end have been widened to accommodate a rear passage. The service end is heated by an end stack, while the hall is heated by an axial stack that backs onto the passage. The chimney stacks are rendered brick, and the inner room is unheated.
The front exterior displays irregular fenestration, including two three-light half dormers and a service end featuring an early 19th-century three-light casement window with a stanchion and saddle bar. The hall has a four-light casement window from the 19th century set in an earlier embrasure. There is a wide doorway leading to the passage with a partially glazed door. A slight bulge to the right of the passage likely indicates the location of a former newel stair. The dairy has a hipped roof and includes a three-light casement window on the first floor and a three-light gauged ventilator below. The rear of the farmhouse has some 19th-century casements, but most are from the 20th century. A 19th-century porch with decorative bargeboarding is also present.
Inside, the service end features a roughly hewn ceiling cross beam and a fireplace lintel with a shallow chamfer. The hall contains three deeply chamfered ceiling cross beams with step stops, although the fireplace is blocked, obscuring details of the lintel. The roof retains much of its thatch and has long straight principals that are halved and pegged at the apex, along with a large ridge piece.
