Farmhouse At Bury Farm

Bury Farm is a farmhouse that dates back to the early 17th century, with a rear range added in the 19th century and renovations completed in the late 20th century. The building features a timber frame covered in roughcast, topped with a steep old-red tile roof that has scalloped tiles on the rear slope. The parallel rear range is made of white gault brick and has a red tiled roof.

The house is two storeys high with a two-cell interior and an internal chimney, following a lobby-entry plan that faces south. The rear range, which is also two storeys, likely replaced an earlier stair tower. At the eastern end of the front range, there is a lower kitchen that has one and a half storeys, complete with an external gable chimney and an oven projection.

The symmetrical south front features a tall red brick chimney with conjoined diagonal shafts, bellcast eaves, and wooden casement windows that are horizontally proportioned. There are five-light and three-light windows on one floor, along with two five-light rectangular bay windows flanking a half-glazed panelled door that has a large flat hood supported by poles.

On the rear wing, there are recessed sash windows under segmental arches and two wall-head chimneys on the back wall. Inside, the farmhouse has an exposed main frame, chamfered axial beams with hollow stops, and open fireplaces. The west room on the ground floor features a plastered Tudor arched chamfered fireplace. Additionally, there is a half-glazed corner cupboard in the kitchen with shaped shelves. The property was formerly known as The Tithe Farm and later Hormeadbury Farm after 1812.
