Burton Closes, Country house in Bakewell, England
Burton Closes features deeply-coursed tooled sandstone walls with ashlar dressings and slate roofs, forming a U-shaped structure around an entrance courtyard.
The house was constructed in 1848 for John Allcard, a Quaker banker from Derby, and underwent significant extensions by T D Barry and E W Pugin in 1856.
The interior design combines works by Joseph Paxton and Augustus Pugin, displaying Victorian architectural elements through panel-vaulted ceilings and decorative features.
Located on Haddon Road, the Grade II* listed building now functions as a residential nursing home, maintaining its historical character while serving modern purposes.
The dining room contains a crenellated fireplace marked with John Allcard's initials, while the drawing room presents ornate doorways with detailed ceiling work.
