Description
Burrow Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th and early 17th centuries, with a large extension added in the 20th century. The 16th-century wing is timber framed with brick infill, and has been extensively refurbished in the 20th century. The 17th-century block at the eastern end is constructed of flint with narrow brick dressings and has modern cross-shaped metal ties. The building features old tile roofs and a large chimney stack on the left side of the 17th-century part, which serves both wings and has four diagonal shafts made of repointed thin brick. There is also a later brick chimney on the left side of the timber-framed wing.
The 16th-century wing has two storeys, with the upper floor jettied at the front, and includes two bays of 20th-century leaded casements. The 17th-century block has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar, and consists of one large bay with a lobby entry in front of the chimney and a staircase at the rear. It features an offset plinth, a flush first-floor band-course, and chamfered brick window surrounds with straight narrow hoodmoulds. The gabled front has 20th-century leaded windows, including French doors, a three-light casement on the first floor, and a two-light attic casement. To the left is a lobby entry with a refurbished old board door set in a heavy 17th-century moulded wooden frame, and a two-light window above. The right side has four-light ovolo moulded windows with transoms and leaded glazing, with the ground floor window having a lowered sill from the 20th century. It also features a two-light window on the first floor to the right above a blocked door, and a 20th-century five-light dormer.
The rear gable has two two-light leaded windows with ovolo mullions on each main floor, three similar staircase windows to the right, an unmoulded two-light attic window, and a small light in the apex of the gable. The 20th-century extensions to the rear of the 16th-century wing are made of brick and are mostly tile-hung.
Inside, the 16th-century wing has massive spine beams, wide stop-chamfered joists, and a fireplace with a depressed brick arch. The 17th-century part has renewed moulded ceiling beams, a winder staircase, and stone fireplaces with moulded four-centred arches and carved spandrels. This section also includes one moulded doorcase similar to the lobby door but with moulded stops, and two doorcases with lighter, possibly later, mouldings. Part of this block is chalk-lined.
