Description

Burton House, now divided into three sections, consists of the North Wing, South Wing, and a rear garden wall attached to the South Wing, which forms the rear wall of the White Cottage and Outlook. This house dates from the late 18th century and has undergone some alterations. The front is made of ashlar, while the sides and rear are constructed of rubble, partly finished with scored stucco. It features a graduated greenslate roof.

The building has a three-storey central block flanked by two-storey pavilions and connecting blocks, with cellars below. The facade has nine bays arranged in a 1:2:3:2:1 pattern. The windows are sashes with glazing bars set in moulded stone surrounds. The main entrance, now leading to Burton House, is in the left-hand return of the central block and features a six-panelled door beneath a fanlight with interlaced glazing bars in a moulded surround with a keystone. The linking blocks have French windows with marginal glazing bars, and the upper floors, likely added later, each have two sashes. Each pavilion has a single sash on each floor and pedimented gables. Most ground-floor openings, except for the main entrance, are topped with either a pediment or cornice. The building has a plinth, a moulded cill band at the ground floor, a plain cill band at the first floor, and modillioned overhanging eaves.

At the rear, the main block has tripartite sashes, while the North Wing features three round-headed windows with interlaced glazing bars in a summerhouse facing the garden. The garden wall attached to the South Wing has three blind round-headed windows, creating a symmetrical appearance. Inside, the house retains original panelled doors, shutters, and architraves, as well as fireplaces in all but two rooms and decorative plasterwork throughout the principal rooms. Notable features include an oval Adam-style drawing room, decorative plasterwork in the upstairs sitting room, and a stone staircase with an open string, ramped handrails with a wreathed terminal, and a curtail. The South Wing preserves shelving and plasterwork from the original library, while the North Wing contains remnants of original panelled cupboards and shelves in the former summerhouse.
