Bury Farm

Farmhouse, now a house, likely dating from the late 14th or early 15th century, with substantial rebuilding in the early 17th century, and further alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. The facade is clad in English bond brick, bearing an inscribed date of 1776. It has a gabled roof covered in old tiles, and a brick ridge stack with oversailing courses.

The building originally had a late medieval open hall plan, which was largely demolished and rebuilt in the early 17th century as a three-unit, lobby-entry plan. A mid-18th century flat hood shelters a central 19th-century four-panelled door (two glazed), set within a beaded wood architrave. A two-storey canted bay was added in the mid-18th century to the left, with mid-19th century casements on the ground floor and 20th-century casements above. A 2-light window was inserted around 1986 above the door, and a late 19th-century four-light casement sits above a segmental-arched, three-light casement to the right. A similar 2-light casement is found on a mid-18th century outshut to the right. The rear features an early to mid-19th century outshut to the left, and exposed 17th-century timber framing to the right.

Inside, the timber framing is exposed throughout. A late 14th/early 15th century timber-framed partition wall stands to the right; this originally formed part of the left side wall of a former medieval cross wing and retains a dovetail joint that once supported the bressummer of a jettied front. The left-hand side of this wall was reworked in the early 17th century when the medieval open hall was demolished. A section of the medieval brick hearth remains beneath the hall floor. Stop-chamfered beams are visible in rooms to the centre and left. The central fireplace is notable for its back-to-back open fireplaces, a 17th-century chamfered bressummer, and a salt cupboard to the left. A rare survival is a 17th-century smoking chamber to the right. A stop-chamfered beam and fireplace bressummer are also found on the first floor. One first-floor room to the left has a 17th-century window opening with mortices for removed wood mullions. Stud partitions are located beneath the trusses, with arch braces beneath the trusses and a three-bay queen-post roof featuring clasped purlins and split-oak common rafters.

A separate, smaller cottage, likely dating from the 17th or early 18th century, is two storeys high and has three bays with an irregular facade. It is constructed of red brick, with a brick dentil cornice and a fairly high-pitched swept tiled roof. The chimney stack has rebated angles, partially rebuilt. A two-storey canted bay is at the left. Windows are a mix of 19th-century one-bar casements and sashes with vertical bars. A four-panelled central door is sheltered by a cornice hood. Lean-to extensions are present at the right and rear.
