Building record 1461800000 - 87 Burkes Corner - Aylesbury End

Large house perhaps originally 3, with hipped slate roofand built of orange/red brick (repointed with rather too much mortar). Ground floor has 3 canted bay windows under hipped slated roofs. Front door is off-centre with a classical door case and bracketed hood with slightly pitched roof covered in lead. All windows are sash with glazing bars. House appears restored with modern extension in sympathetic style to the south. However the wide garage door gives too strong a horizontal emphasis. Attached to the north is the flat roofed Burkes Cottage. Important and sensitive position at entrance to the conservation area. This is a local building of note within the Conservtation Area of Beaconsfield Old Town. (B1)
