Description
Burrows Court is a house with an attached former mill, now serving as a private guest house. The mill dates from the 17th century or early 18th century and underwent alterations in the early 19th century, with further changes made in the 20th century. The house was built around 1820. The front of the house features Flemish bond red brick, while the mill is constructed from random rubble marlstone. The house has brick chimneys and a stone slate roof, while the mill has a Welsh slate roof.
The house is two stories with an attic, and the mill is three stories tall with a single-storey rear outshut. The front elevation of the house, which is on the left, has three windows: outer 16-pane sashes and a central 12-pane sash on the upper floor, all with voussoir lintels. There is a central doorway with a Regency iron porch and a six-panel fielded door. The house has a plain parapet with stone coping and a single central gabled roof dormer.
To the right, the mill consists of two building periods. The oldest part on the left has two-window fenestration on the ground and middle floors with brick segmental-arched casements, and a row of three casements on the upper floor. There is a central doorway with a timber porch hood. Large stone quoins indicate the junction with the later enlargement, which has four-window fenestration similar to the older part. At the right end, there is a pointed-arched window, possibly a former doorway.
The rear of the house is made of marlstone rubble and features two-window fenestration with small-paned casements and timber lintels on the ground floor. There is a central staircase casement with a timber lintel and a leaded upper staircase window under the eaves. Two hipped-roof dormers with small-paned casements are also present. The rear elevation of the mill has a two-light chamfered stone-mullioned casement to the left of a glazed door and a 12-pane sash window on the upper floor. A large outshut is located to the left. Inside the house, there is a contemporary fireplace. A set of photographs of the house and mill is held in the National Monuments Record.
