Description
Bury Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates back to the early 17th century, with a west range from that period and an east rear extension from the later 17th century. The building was extended to the north and had brick casing with pilasters added in the early to mid-19th century. It features a timber frame with painted brick infill that is exposed at the east of the rear wing, and the exterior is finished in white painted brick with steep old red tiled roofs.
The farmhouse is designed in a Z-plan and consists of two storeys and an attic, facing west. The early 17th-century west range has two windows and a large internal chimney that rises through the front roofslope. The parallel-roofed east range has exposed framing on its east side, a large external chimney at the south end of that wall, and a single-storey brick and tile kitchen that projects east from its north end, which was added in the 19th century.
The west fronts of both ranges are adorned with brick pilasters and three-light casement windows. The entrance is located in a lean-to porch at the northwest angle. Inside, there is good exposed timbering, including jowled posts, a clasped-purlin roof with collar trusses, and chamfered cross-beams in the west range, as well as axial beams with bar-stops in the east extension.
