On the late 19th century historic map, Burntown is much the same as the Tithe Map layout, although a horse engine house has been added to the eastern (outer) side of one of the buildings in the range north of the farmhouse. Also, a rectangular range has been added on the western side of the yard, almost completely surrounding the yard.
