Description
Bury Hall is a house that dates from the early to mid 17th century and was extended in 1782. It features a timber frame that is rendered and has some colourwashed brick casing, with tiled roofs. The building has a six-bay early range, which may consist of two or more constructions, and a five-bay lobby entry block from the late 18th century that is positioned at right angles, forming an L shape. Both sections are two storeys high.
The brick-fronted 18th-century block has a central entrance with a bracketed hood. The ground floor has 18-pane sash windows with segmental heads, while the first floor features 8:4 pane sashes, all of which are recessed. The front has a plinth and pilaster strips flanking the central bay and at the ends, topped by a steeply pitched hipped roof. There is a large internal axial stack on the rear slope, which has offsets and is inscribed with 'MH 1782'.
At the rear, the ground floor has sash windows and an entrance, while the first floor has two-light casements. Attached to the front left is a lower early range, with one bay projecting forward and a gable end that has an early external stack with multiple offsets and tumbled-in brickwork. The left return features one, two, and three-light small pane casements and small sashes, all with flush frames. There is an entrance with a bracketed hood to the left of centre and an added external stack. The inner elevation of the early range has a brick plinth, ground floor weatherboarding, and one to four-light casements, along with an entrance that has a coved hood on trellised supports. A ridge stack is located between the two far bays, and there is a weatherboarded gable at the rear. Extending to the rear is a long low weatherboarded outbuilding with a pantiled roof.
Inside, the lobby entry leads directly to the stairs, with diagonally set fireplaces located at the rear in the flanking rooms.
