Burnt House Farmhouse

Burnt House Farmhouse is likely a 17th-century farmhouse, although it has been significantly altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is now used as a dwelling. The farmhouse is constructed with rendered walls and has asbestos-cement slate roofs, featuring a large external eaves stack on the right side of the central gable. It is a composite building, consisting of a tall, central block with a gable facing the road, flanked by left and right wings, and incorporating a lean-to extension at the rear.

The central unit is two and a half storeys high, with a very steep roof and has a two-light casement window above a three-light sash window (without bars), above a four-light casement window. The left wing, also two and a half storeys high, has a gable to the south with four 20th-century casement windows. To the left of this gable is a porch with a fine 19th-century plank door, which is partially glazed. The right wing is two storeys high and has 20th-century windows.

Inside, a large bressummer fire features an exceptionally wide span and a stop-chamfered spine beam with run-out stops. There is a 19th-century staircase with turned balusters and square newels. The roof structure in the central section is an A-frame with two purlins, constructed from roughly hewn timbers. A spiral staircase is located within a cylindrical well on the first floor.
