Description
Bury Farm Cottage is an early 18th-century house. It is timber-framed with roughcast rendering, a weatherboard apron, and a weatherboarded rear outshut. The roof is of old red tiles, as is the roof of a late 18th-century red brick outhouse which joins the cottage at the southwest corner.
The cottage itself is a small, two-storey, two-cell house facing south, with an external western gable chimney built of red brick. It has two windows on each floor, and a door is centrally placed between the rooms on the western side. The ground floor windows are two-light, small-pane Yorkshire sliding casements with dripboards. The upper east window was extended in the 19th century with an additional window. A boarded door, raised one step and with an inclined dripboard supported on shaped brackets, provides access. The chimney only serves to heat one room.
