Description
Burton Homes consists of a row of twelve single-storey almshouses built in a half-H plan, with a courtyard that opens 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 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 under a three-centred arch, decorated with carved roses and foliage in the spandrels. This hall is flanked by stone-framed rectangular windows that have oval frames within. 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, a stone-framed triple window features a combination of 4:6 + 6:4 panes, with the central part having an arched head. The gabled roof is 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 three-light mullioned window in a large gable, alongside a doorway with a timber porch. Each window light has a configuration of 4 over 6 panes, and there is a tall brick stack for each house. The two end houses on either side have wings that project forward towards the road, each with a small window in the gable end. Additionally, each house has two more windows located on the rear wall. The interior details were not available at the time of resurvey.
