Burton Homes

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. They are constructed from coursed squared rock-faced red sandstone rubble, featuring Bath stone dressings and topped with 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 under a three-centred arch, with roses and foliage carved in the spandrels. Flanking the hall are stone-framed rectangular windows with oval frames inside, above which 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 featuring a combination of 4:6 + 6:4 panes, with the central section having 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 section, there are six houses, each featuring a three-light mullioned window in a large gable and a doorway with a timber porch beside it. 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 are set forward in a wing 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.
