3/533 Burnt House and Sandstones
II
House, divided into 2. Mid/late C19 possibly a recasting of an earlier house. Local sandstone ashlar, each block hammer-dressed with a plain border; slate roof; stacks with brick shafts. Stylistically eclectic with Tudor style windows but classical masonry detail.
Plan: Approximately rectangular double depth plan, the entrance elevation facing south west, the north west elevation overlooking Langton Road. Sandstones is to the north east, Burnt House to the south west preserving the original entrance. Entrance to Sandstones on the north west elevation, dating form the 1960s, when the property was divided. Details of plan unclear on survey as interior not inspected.
Exterior: Mostly 2 storeys with a 3-storey block to the north (Sandstones). Hipped roofs. Platband at first floor level; deep eaves; painted mullion and transom windows, most with elliptical arched heads to the upper lights, the frames chamfered with stone sills, glazed with large-pane casements. Asymmetrical 3-window south west front, the 2 left hand bays broken forward under a lean-to roof. Front door in the centre bay with a recessed porch, and a 4-panel outer door with an overlight flanked by glazed panels. Above the front door a section of imitation timber-framing below a 4-light window. 3- light windows, one to each floor, in the left hand bay. The right hand bay, set back, has one first floor 3-light window and a C20 ground floor casement. The north west elevation is more irregular 4-bays and rises to 3 storeys at the left end, with 2 projecting 2-storey bays to the right, the first bay from the right with a hipped roof, coved cornice and stone plinth with a section of imitation framing between the first and ground floor windows, which are 6- light plus one-light to each return. The right hand bay has one first and one ground floor 3-light window. 1960s 2-panel door in the second bay from the right, converted from an original 3-light mullion and transom window; similar first floor window above. Similar windows to the 3-storey block at the left end.
