Description
Burrow Farmhouse, along with a wall box and walls enclosing the garden on the south front, is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with enlargements made in the late 18th to early 19th century. The building is roughcast over rubble and features a thatched roof that is hipped to the left and half hipped on the cross wing to the right. There is a brick stack at the left end and a large lateral stack rising at the rear. The plan consists of three cells and a cross passage, with cross wings added in the end bays on the facade and the rear elevation.
The garden front is two storeys high and has six bays with a 1:6 ratio. Most windows are 19th-century three-light casements, except for the third bay on the left below the stack, which has a leaded three-light iron casement in the gable end of the cross wing. There is a 20th-century opening below this. The entrance is located between the fifth and sixth bays on the left. On the rear elevation, which faces the foldyard, there is a 17th-century ovolo moulded four-light window.
The interior has been extensively altered and lacks datable features, but it includes a collar beam roof. The garden front is enclosed by a low random rubble red sandstone wall that features a semi-circular headed wall box inset with the initials GR. This farmhouse forms a good group with the earlier farmhouse, which is now a barn, located across the foldyard.
