Description
This is a house, now divided into three flats, originally built in 1687 for Thomas Burgis. It incorporates some earlier medieval masonry walls and has been altered in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The exterior is roughcast on brick, with a tiled roof, 20th-century eaves cornice, two hipped dormers, and brick gable-end stacks. The building is arranged with a double-depth block, a projecting turret in the center of the front, a rear wing to the right, and a 20th-century addition to the rear left, which incorporates a staircase to the flats on upper floors.
The symmetrical front has five bays, with the central turret rising to its full height. It features an offset plinth and raised bands at the first and second-floor levels, an eaves cornice (likely a copy of an 18th-century design, replacing an earlier brick parapet), and a doorway with a four-centred arched head. The windows are 19th-century two-light timber casements with glazing bars (2x4 panes) and Gothic glazing in the heads. Dormers contain two similar casements (3x2 panes). A blocked four-centred brick arch is visible in the right-hand gable-end wall.
Inside Flat 6A on the ground floor, the central entrance hall has an 18th-century cornice. A late 17th-century staircase is located at the rear on the right; the lower flights have been filled with cupboards, retaining the closed string, a newel with knop, and the bottoms of suspended newels with pierced drops. Other rooms contain doorways with moulded architraves and fielded panel doors, and 18th-century fielded panel shutters in the window jambs. Flat 6B, on the first floor, includes a staircase enclosed in a cupboard and front rooms with a moulded plaster cornice and an 18th-century six-panel door. The second floor (Flat 6C) was not inspected.
The forecourt is enclosed by 18th-century brick walls with brick piers at each corner. A central gateway is flanked by tall brick gate piers topped with large stone urns. 20th-century timberwork replaced earlier wrought-iron railings and gates.
