Description
Bury Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1600. It features a plain but substantial timber frame, with some areas exposed and most covered in rough cast. Parts of the ground floor have been replaced with brick, and the roof is made of old clay tiles. The building has an L-plan shape, with a later pair of gables projecting to the northwest and lower brick and pantiled additions to the southeast. It stands two storeys tall. The northeast wing, which may be the oldest part, has a large brick ridge stack that serves a stone back-to-back fireplace. The three-bay southwest wing has a substantial external stack made of coursed rubble. The windows vary, with most being from the 20th century, although the southwest wing retains one two-light horizontal sash and one sash on each floor.
