Description
Bury Cottage is a 17th-century house with a timber frame set on a black plastered plinth and roughcast walls, topped with steep half-hipped thatch roofs. The building has two storeys and features a three-cell internal-chimney, lobby-entry plan, facing north. The chimney and entrance are located a third of the way from the west end. There is a small southwest outshut with a catslide roof and a single-storey, two-cell, internal chimney-plan half-hipped rear wing at the southeast. The front of the house has three two-light flush wooden casement windows on each floor, which have been renewed, and a hipped tiled open porch supported by two posts with low side walls. The old plank door is set in a simple frame. Inside, there is an axial beam in the unheated service bay at the east end.
