The Bury

The Bury is a house that was formerly the Dower House to Newsells Park, dating from around 1700, with alterations and extensions made around 1830 and in the late 19th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a steeply pitched roof with two spans covered in tiles. The building originally had five bays but has been altered to three bays. It stands two storeys high, with a cellar and attics.

The house has a plinth with a cellar window to the right. The ground floor includes steps leading up to a central entrance, which has a door that is half diamond glazed and half raised panelled, set within a recessed area that features panelled reveals and soffit, along with a reeded architrave adorned with corner roundels and a flat hood. Large sash windows with six over nine panes and margin lights are present, framed by reeded architraves with corner roundels and topped with segmental heads. A plat band runs along the first floor, where there are three flush moulded frame sashes with sixteen panes. Straight joints in the wall indicate the original window placements. The eaves cornice is also notable, and the outer bays feature two light hipped dormers. The building has extruded end stacks with offsets and rebuilt cogged caps on the front range, while a similar stack is found on the left end of the rear range, which is internal.

The right return of the house has recessed sashes, while the left return includes a one-storey late 19th-century addition. The two gables have ridges that are parallel to the main block. A French window is located at the front, with sashes on the return, including one tripartite window, and an attic light towards the rear. The rear elevation consists of three bays, with window placements altered similarly to those at the front. The ground floor features a central raised six-panelled door with a rectangular fanlight above, supported by moulded brackets on the hood. To the right, there is a six-light mullion and transom leaded casement with a segmental head, and to the left, there are two light windows. The first floor has glazing bar sashes and three two-light hipped dormers. Kneelers are present at the rear end of the gables, and there is a one-storey lean-to at the rear left. The interior has not been inspected.
