Description
Bury House is a house dated by a stone plaque to 'RC 1700', located on the south side of Main Street in Downham. It features early 19th century elements along with renovations and alterations from around 1900. The building is constructed of rendered brick and has plain tile roofs, incorporating materials from the demolished Bishops of Ely's Palace buildings.
The house is two storeys high, with attics and a cellar, and has a three-unit plan that includes a rear kitchen. The original lobby entry was sealed around 1900 when the main entrance was moved to the west side. The gables have tumbled parapets, with end stacks and a ridge stack positioned to the left of centre. A closed gabled porch from the 19th century features a moulded round arched doorway inscribed with 'Bury House' and has double doors.
There are three three-light casement windows with patterned glazing bars on the upper panes, along with three smaller similar windows on the first floor. Inside, many details are from the 19th century, including reused 15th-century timber, some of which has double ogee-moulding, found in the side purlin roof and floor frames.
