The house is built of sandstone ashlar with a slate roof. The south facing façade is composed of seven bays, three of which project under a pediment. The east facing façade has ten bays. The hall is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building,[1] and the stable block to the rear is listed Grade II*.[2]
The house has a number of impressive ornate plaster ceilings, attributed to Italians Francesco Vassalli and Martino Quadry,[1] who were also thought to have done work at Towneley Hall, Burnley and Shugborough in Staffordshire.
Burrow Hall was built over the site of a Roman Fort, the initial construction of which is thought to date to the Flavian period.[3] Remains are thought to be under the Main Hall, although archaeological work during the renovations in 2014 uncovered no significant evidence of that.
