SY 835816. Burngate Farmhouse, of two storeys with walls of rubble, partly stuccoed, comprises two wings built against two sides of a barn and linked only by a porch. The house is of uncertain date but may include material from Mount Poynings (see SY 88 SW 10); the main south west block was completely remodelled in the 19th century, but the wall thicknesses suggests that it is at least in part of earlier construction. The north east wing has windows, one of which was formerly a doorway, all framed with revised 16th and 17th century dressed stonework, Grade 2. (3-4)
