The Bury Farmhouse and Adjoining Out Buildings and Hop Kilns

The Bury Farmhouse and adjoining outbuildings and hop kilns date from the 18th century, with alterations and extensions in the mid-19th century. The farmhouse is constructed of coursed dressed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, beneath a slate roof with overhanging, bracketed eaves, and brick ridge stacks. It is two and three storeys high, featuring a two-course band at first floor level, and comprises one bay plus three bays. Windows have ashlar sills. The three-bay section features a 4-light casement with a cambered head and moulded keyblock, and a 19th-century hipped-roofed canted bay window on the ground floor. The first floor has two 3-light 19th-century casements, and a round-headed window with a dropped keyblock and Y-tracery to the left. Below this is the main entrance, which has a hipped-roofed porch on timber posts and a partly-glazed door with a cambered head. The single-bay section to the left has a ground floor 6-pane sash with a cambered head, a first floor 3-light casement, and a smaller 3-light casement on the second floor.

Adjoining the farmhouse to the left are three rubble, slate-roofed ranges. One was likely a farm worker’s house; it is two storeys and two bays, with a ground floor 12-pane sash with a cambered head, two first floor 2-light casements, and a partly-glazed door with a lean-to canopy on straight brackets. Another range is also two storeys and two bays, with a ground floor square window, two first floor 2-light windows, and a ledged and battened door. The final range is two storeys and three bays, possibly a malthouse; it has two ground floor 6-pane windows, three first floor square windows, and a central ledged and battened door.

At the rear of the buildings are two hop kilns, constructed of brick with steeply pitched hipped slate roofs. They have a rectangular plan, two levels, and on their east elevation, two ground floor openings with cambered heads, a first floor window, and a central loft door.
