Description
Burton Homes consists of a row of single-storey almshouses built in a half-H plan, with the courtyard open to the road. Constructed from coursed squared rock-faced red sandstone rubble with Bath stone dressings, the buildings feature a red tile roof. The chimneys have been rebuilt in blue engineering brick, and the rear elevation is entirely brick. The design is reminiscent of 17th-century almshouses found in East Anglia.
At the center, there is a hall with double plank doors set beneath a 3-centred arch, which has roses and foliage carved in the spandrels. This hall is flanked by stone-framed rectangular windows that contain oval frames. Above the doors, there is a plaque that reads 'BURTON HOMES FOUNDED BY COLONEL HENRY BURTON M.D. AND MISS S.E. BURTON. ERECTED 1913'. Above this plaque is a stone-framed triple window with a configuration of 4:6 + 6:4 panes, with the central section featuring an arched head. The roof is gabled, adorned with Jacobean finials on the kneelers and a small Bath stone decoration at the apex.
On either side of the central hall, there are six houses, each featuring a 3-light mullioned window within a large gable and a doorway with a timber porch beside it. Each window light has a 4 over 6 pane configuration. Each house also has a tall brick stack. The two end houses on either side are slightly set forward towards the road and feature a small window in the gable end. Additionally, each house has two further windows on the rear wall. The interior details were not available at the time of the resurvey.
