Burneside Hall

Burneside Hall is a large house, now subdivided, that primarily dates from the 14th century with later alterations. It features stone rubble walls with quoins, mostly covered in roughcast render, and has a graduated green slate roof with interlaced valleys. The building has three chimney stacks on the Hall, including a projecting stepped chimney at the rear and two 19th-century chimneys on the right wing, one of which has four diagonal square shafts. The Hall has crosswings, and the northern solar block, now in ruins, is designed as a tower with vaulted basements and a passage between, incorporating fragments of an earlier structure in its north wall.

An original door with a pointed head leading to a newel staircase bears a Mason's mark in the 13th-century style. The Hall was originally situated at first-floor level, as depicted in a late 17th-century drawing by Rev. Thomas Machell. The original entrance doorway on the southwest side has been altered to include a reversed mullioned window, where Machell illustrated an external stair. The south wing is now gabled and was shown by Machell with battlements. The current entrance at the rear retains its original pointed arched head.

The front elevation features stone mullioned windows, three of which on the upper floor have trefoil heads. The interior preserves many original features, including several doors with pointed arched heads in the present kitchen, a pre-17th-century panelled screen in the first-floor Hall, and remnants of a 17th-century plaster ceiling and frieze, which are partly obscured by 20th-century partitions in the south wing. Former outbuildings attached to the south have been converted into a holiday cottage during the 20th century and are not included in the listing.
