Description

Burton Hall is a two-storey building with an attic and cross wings, constructed from grey grit rendered brick and timber-frame. It features a pitched slate roof and is arranged in a U-plan, with a 19th-century extension to the south that has its brick left exposed on the gable end. The extension includes original sliding sash windows, while most other windows are late 19th-century, consisting of one, two, and three-light sliding sashes without glazing bars. The front (north) elevation has a 19th-century wooden porch and an asymmetrically placed gable adorned with decorative half-timbering. The apex of the gables of the cross wings also features decorative half-timbering, with horizontally sliding sash windows beneath on both the front and rear elevations.

Inside, the lounge showcases 17th-century half-panelling and enriched plastered floor beams decorated with vine and strapwork, dated "1632". The west wall boasts an exquisite carved stone Jacobean chimneypiece with stopped moulded jambs, fluted Roman Doric columns on pedestals featuring strap-work decoration, and an entablature with an ornamental frieze. The first-floor bedroom includes full-height 17th-century oak panelling with a decorative frieze on the top panels, as well as a stone chimneypiece. The front hall on the ground floor is double height and features a 19th-century glazed Ruabon tiled floor and a Jacobethan Revival staircase with turned balusters. The dining room in the east cross wing contains a black marble 19th-century Jacobethan Revival fireplace and a plaster cornice.
