Burtons

Burton's is a farmhouse with an attached shippon or stable, currently used as a stock shelter and hay loft. It likely dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century and has been altered over time. The building is constructed from roughly coursed mixed rubble, primarily limestone, with some sandstone lacing courses and through-stones, along with sandstone dressings and quoins. The outbuilding is made of coursed sandstone rubble and features a stone slate roof. The structure has a single-depth, two-unit plan oriented on a north-south axis, facing east and built back from the road, with a one-unit outbuilding added at the north end.

The exterior consists of two low storeys and three windows. On the ground floor, there is a doorway slightly offset to the right, featuring quoined jambs and a flat-arched head with large rubble voussoirs, although the wooden frame is now missing its door. To the left of the doorway, there is a small segmental-headed one-light fire-window and a two-light flush mullion window, both of which are chamfered and have diamond-set iron saddle-bars and stone slate hoodmoulds. A similar two-light window is located to the right. The upper floor has a small chamfered one-light window to the left and two similar two-light mullioned windows that are missing their mullions and glazing. The attached outbuilding on the north side has a doorway at the junction. The left (south) gable wall shows remnants of a formerly corbelled chimney, with added stepped under-building below. At the rear, where the ground floor is now back-to-earth, there is an inserted loading doorway directly above a two-light mullioned window, along with another loading doorway leading to the loft of the outbuilding.

Inside, the ground floor has been remodeled for livestock, while the upper floor is now open from end to end and features two principal rafter trusses and trenched purlins. The relatively unaltered facade, with its original openings despite the loss of mullions and glazing, represents a valuable survival of its historical character.
