Description

Burton Homes consists of a row of single-storey almshouses built in a half-H plan, with the courtyard facing 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 using blue engineering brick, and the rear elevation is entirely brick. The design is reminiscent of 17th-century almshouses found in East Anglia.

The central hall has double plank doors set beneath a 3-centred arch, which is adorned with carvings of roses and foliage in the spandrels. Flanking the hall are stone-framed rectangular windows that contain oval frames, and above the hall 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, featuring an arched head in the central section. The gabled roof is decorated 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, accompanied by a doorway that has a timber porch. Each window light contains 4 over 6 panes, and there is a tall brick stack for each house. The end houses on both sides are slightly advanced towards the road and include a small window in the gable end. Each house also has two additional windows located on the rear wall. The interior details were not available at the time of resurvey.
