Building
Burtonholme is a single-storey, polychrome brick villa comprising two distinct wings. The symmetrical eastern wing has an ornate cast iron verandah with a dog tooth patterned timber fascia and bracketed eaves. Two semi-octagonal bay windows flank the central entrance. The smaller north wing also has a semi-octagonal bay window, but the roof is concealed behind a parapet, which has a moulded string course with cream brick brackets matching those of the eaves of the east wing. The tall polychrome brick chimney stacks have moulded brick cappings.
Landscape
A glazed fernery survives on the east side of the house.

BURTONHOLME - Historical Australian Themes
In the 1880s, the prospect of rail transport, promised first to Alphington, and then to Heidelberg, provided the impetus for land speculators and developers in the area and saw the district's fortunes appear to take a turn for the better. These estates were marketed as high quality residential subdivisions. In suburbs such as Ivanhoe and Heidelberg, however, much of this land remained unsold, and relatively few houses were actually constructed following the land sales of the 1880s. Burtonholme is one of a small group of late Victorian villas erected at that time.
