Description
Bucklers Farmhouse is an early 19th-century house located on Buckleys Lane in Great Tey. It is aligned east-west and consists of two storeys built from gault brick. The ground floor features four pairs of hornless eight-pane sash windows, with the front door situated between the third and fourth windows. A Doric portico with two columns and two pilasters supports a flat entablature. The first storey has five windows that match those on the ground floor. The roof has eaves, is hipped, and is covered with slate, while there are four gault brick chimney stacks. A gault brick return on the red brick rear wall indicates a former extension to the east of the house. The west wall includes a gothic bow window at the ground floor.
