Burlington is a historic plantation house located near Aylett, King William County, Virginia. The main house is a two-part structure consisting of the Classical Revival-style main portion, erected in 1842, and a fragment of a Colonial-period frame dwelling serving as the rear ell. The main section is a two-story, stuccoed brick dwelling with a standing seam metal gable roof. The earlier portion is topped by a hipped roof. Also on the property are the contributing old smokehouse, an early framed barn, and a family cemetery surrounded by a brick wall.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
