Description
Houghton Bury is a late 19th-century Vernacular Revival house designed in a T-plan. It features narrow red brick construction with stone dressings around the ground-floor door and window architraves. The first floor is timber-framed, finished with pebble-dash rendering and herringbone pattern brick infill, topped by a red pantiled roof. The house has diagonally linked shafts on two side stacks and grouped shafts on one internal stack.
It stands two storeys high, with the garden front showcasing two and three-light casements that have leaded lights. The gable ends are accentuated by canted oriel windows. A wood balcony with flat section balusters is positioned at the first-floor doorway. The ground floor features similar casements set within moulded stone architraves that include ovolo mullions, along with bow windows at the gable ends. A two-storey porch is located at an angle, constructed of brick with shingle casing on the first floor, and it has a six-light casement on the ground floor, with the door adorned with strap hinges and studs.
