Description

Bury Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, with some alterations made in the 19th century. It is constructed with a timber frame and has pebbledash render, while the western gable and parts of the eastern ground floor have been rebuilt in brick. The roofs are covered with clay tiles. The building has an L-plan layout, with the eastern wing being two storeys and jettied at the northern gable end, while the northwestern wing is one storey with attics. The eastern elevation features three windows on the ground floor and two on the first floor, primarily consisting of three-light casements with glazing bars. There is a doorway located between the two left-hand bays. The northern elevation has three-light casements with glazing bars on both the ground floor and the first floor of the cross-wing. The right-hand block's attic includes a gabled dormer with a two-light casement. Additionally, there is a lean-to porch at the angle of the building and a red brick double ridge stack on the right-hand block.
