Description

Burford House is a two-storey building with a three-window front. The façade is rendered and steps up to the center, featuring a slate roof at the front and two low hipped roofs that are at right angles to the street. There are three rendered chimney stacks and one brick stack. The front has a projecting block cornice, with the left half of the front slightly advanced and featuring larger, three-light windows with bracketed lintels. All the sash windows have plain architraves that are splayed at the base and linked to a band course, with faceted aprons below. To the right, there is a recessed four-panelled door with a two-pane fanlight and plain reveals. Additionally, there are iron railings along the street.
