Description

The Bury Farm House is a house with origins in the early 18th century. It was largely rebuilt in the early 19th century and altered and raised in the 20th century. The house is constructed of stuccoed brick with a hipped slate roof. It comprises three bays with a three-bay return wing, and a further three bays to the right added in the 20th century. The entire house is now two storeys high. The three-bay front on the left has an early 20th-century entrance porch with double raised panelled doors set within a re-used 18th-century pedimented doorcase, featuring consoles, a bay leaf frieze, and segmental-headed lights in the porch returns. All windows are recessed with sills and segmental heads; the ground floor on the left has a 12-pane sash window, and the ground floor on the right has a three-light small-pane casement. A plat band runs along the first floor, above which are three 12-pane sashes. The three bays are framed by pilaster strips, with an oversailing course leading to a deep panelled eaves soffit. A ridge stack is positioned to the left of the centre. To the right is a slightly recessed bay with two- and three-light small-pane casements, with triple oversailing courses to the eaves. Further to the right are two bays with 12-pane sashes and a plat band, along with an extruded stack with an offset and a right-end pilaster strip. The left return has three bays with 12-pane sashes, a central 20th-century porch on the ground floor, a dummy window on the first floor, a plat band, and end pilasters. The right return has one bay with large 20th-century windows. At the rear, two wings project from the ends, with the wing on the right being the original and extending further. This wing has ground floor French windows with panelled reveals and architraves with pedimental heads, a first-floor sash window, a plat band, and end pilaster strips. The wing on the left has a ground floor sash window and first-floor two-light casements. To the right of the centre, the main roof continues over a lean-to projection featuring scattered small-pane casements; the left return has three-light leaded pane casements. Further left are French windows, and above them a Gothic glazed fixed window. The interior features fielded panelled doors, dado panelling, and marble fireplaces.
