Description
Bury Farm Cottage is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house, dated 1699 above the door. It features coursed sandstone rubble and a slate roof. The building has a three-bay baffle-entry plan, with a former farm building on the left end that has been remodeled as an extension.
The cottage is two storeys high. The doorway, aligned with a rebuilt chimney at the junction of the first and second bays, has a moulded surround and a large rectangular lintel that is undercut to form a depressed pointed arch. Above the door is a moulded cornice, from which a datestone with a hollowed surround displays the year "1699" in relief. To the right of the door, there are recessed hollow-chamfered mullioned windows with four and three lights, both featuring hoodmoulds. On the first floor, there are hollow chamfered flush mullion windows with three lights each.
On the left side, all openings have been rebuilt or inserted using materials from the former Clayton Hall in Clayton-le-Woods. These include ovolo-and-fillet mullions, with two lights at ground level and three above, and in the remodeled section, four lights below and three above. The left gable has a relocated window that was originally in the gable of the house, consisting of three stepped round-headed lights with hollow spandrels and a stepped hoodmould. The rear of the building has modern flush mullion windows.
Inside, there is an inglenook fireplace with a stop-chamfered bressummer, an 18th-century inserted fireplace with stone jambs and a corbelled lintel, two quarter-round moulded beams, and an exposed timber-framed partition wall.
