Description
Burton Homes consists of a row of single-storey almshouses built in 1913, arranged in a half-H plan with a courtyard that opens to the road. The buildings are constructed from coursed squared rock-faced red sandstone rubble, featuring Bath stone dressings and a red tile roof. The chimneys have been rebuilt using blue engineering brick, and the rear elevation is entirely brick. The architectural style 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 carved roses and foliage in the spandrels. Flanking the hall are stone-framed rectangular windows with oval frames inside, and above these is a plaque that reads 'BURTON HOMES FOUNDED BY COLONEL HENRY BURTON M.D. AND MISS S.E. BURTON. ERECTED 1913'. Above the 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 roof is gabled, 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, accompanied by a doorway with a timber porch. 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 set forward in a wing that extends towards the road and include a small window in the gable end. Additionally, each house has two more windows on the rear wall. The interior details were not available at the time of resurvey.
