Background
History
A cottage existed on the site in the 16th century and is recorded in the deeds from that period. Burrowlee House was constructed in 1711 by Thomas Steade (1672–1739): the Steades were a family of local landowners who also built the nearby Hillsborough House, which stands just 250 metres to the west. Stead had married Elizabeth Creswick in 1696, whose father was Lord of the Manor of Owlerton. The couple lived in the house upon completion and their initials are still visible in the date stone above the main door. Burrowlee remained a private dwelling until the 1920s, although at some point in time it seems to have been divided into two apartments. The house was then purchased by the Education…
Visiting
In 2005 planning permission was approved for property developers Blenheim Park Developments to convert the house into new housing. New buildings were added in the same style as the main house to form Burrowlee Park Square, a series of six exclusive houses.
