Description
Silverburn House is a mid-19th century building that has been converted from industrial use to agricultural use. It features a single and two-storey, approximate T-plan design, with classical detailing. The structure is built of brick, accented with large ashlar quoins and topped with original corrugated-iron roofs. There is a partial band course, round-headed openings, and segmental recessed arches, along with lunette windows and boarded timber doors.
On the northeast elevation, there is a two-storey, six-bay range on the left and a single-storey, twelve-bay range on the right. The taller range has a blind arched arcade at ground level, with full-width doors in bays two, three, and six, a pedestrian door in bay one, and multi-pane lunette windows in bays one, two, four, and five. The first floor has six regularly spaced round-headed windows, with the outer left window being larger and originally a loft door. The single-storey range features a blind arched arcade with six doors and five windows arranged asymmetrically, and the outer right bay is blank.
The southeast elevation has three parallel, piend-roofed, lower ranges that project off-centre to the right, showcasing six recessed arches. There is a water pump on the outer left and a nearly full-width later flat-roofed timber aviary on the right. The left return has six arched recesses with full-width sliding doors in bays one and three, and windows in bays four and five. The right return is clad in corrugated iron and has two large windows. The flanking recessed faces also display a blind arched arcade and a variety of openings.
On the east elevation, there is a two-bay blind arched arcade at ground level on the right, with two small windows above and a blinded oculus in the gable head. There is a smaller arched recess with a door on the outer left.
The west elevation features a two-bay arched arcade, each bay containing a window. The building has small-pane glazing patterns in timber casement windows, some of which have lying panes. The roofs are made of corrugated iron, with ashlar skews at the gables and brick ridge stacks.
The gatepiers are square-section ashlar with pyramidally-coped tops.
