Burton Homes

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, they 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.

At the center, there is a hall with double plank doors set beneath a three-centred arch, which is adorned with carvings of roses and foliage in the spandrels. Flanking the hall are stone-framed rectangular windows with 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 includes a small Bath stone decoration at the apex.

On either side of the central hall, there are six houses, each featuring a three-light mullioned window set within a large gable, alongside a doorway with a timber porch. Each window light consists of 4 over 6 panes, and there is a tall brick stack for each house. The two end houses on either side are slightly advanced towards the road and include a small window in the gable end. Each house also has two additional windows on the rear wall. The interior details were not available at the time of resurvey.
