Buckland Bury

Buckland Bury is a house located on Buckland High Road, dating from the late 17th century for the southern range and the early 18th century for the northern range. The building is timber-framed and was cased in red brick in the 1880s. It features chamfered plinths, a buttress at the southeast corner, and a yellow brick band at floor level. The roof is steeply pitched with old red tiles and has a half-hipped design with a bellcast at the southern eaves.

The house has a spacious two-storey internal chimney plan and faces south, with a gable end towards the road on the west. The northern range, which is parallel, includes a staircase, kitchens, and a west parlour with a cellar beneath. The southern range has a hall in the middle, leading to a large room to the east, which may have originally been two rooms. The wide entrance hall features a staircase on the west side and a large two-bay parlour at the west end, which has an early 19th-century inserted chimney on the east wall.

The southern front has five windows, which are recessed sash windows set under segmental arches with eight panes over eight. There are centrally located 19th-century bay windows in the hall and east parlour, along with a screen featuring sidelights at the entrance door. Each part of the building has similar small-paned sash windows on the west end facing the road.

Inside, the timber frame is exposed, showcasing unjowled posts, straight tension braces, a clasped-purlin collar-truss roof, chamfered and stopped axial beams, and squared joists. The wallplates of the southern range display face-halved bladed scarf joints. The hall features a large open fireplace with an ogee stopped chamfered lintel. There is also a plastered but unlit attic room to the west of the chimney. The property was known as Painter's Farm at some point during the 20th century.
