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 topped with a red tile roof. The chimneys have been rebuilt using blue engineering brick, while 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 under a three-centred arch, adorned with carved roses and foliage in the spandrels. This hall is flanked by rectangular windows framed in stone, each containing oval frames. Above the doors, a plaque 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 roof is gabled, with Jacobean finials on the kneelers and a small decorative element in Bath stone at the apex.
On either side of the central hall, there are six houses, each featuring a three-light mullioned window within a large gable, accompanied by a doorway that has a timber porch. Each window light consists of 4 over 6 panes, and there is a tall brick stack for each house. The end houses on both sides are slightly forward, projecting towards the road, and each has 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 the resurvey.
