Old Bury Hill House

Old Bury Hill House is a large mansion built in 1753 for James Walter. In 1812, it was purchased by Robert Barclay, who had become the head of the Barclay, Perkins and Co. Brewery following the death of Henry T1rale in 1781. The centre of the house was damaged by fire in 1950, and only the side wings now remain. These wings are slightly lower in height than what was formerly the central section. The house has two storeys and a basement. The ground floor is stuccoed and rusticated, while the upper floor is cemented. The south or garden front features a cornice and parapet. The roof is slate. Each wing has three window bays.

On the south or garden front, the ground floor projects with a balustraded parapet above, creating a balcony. Pediments are positioned above the central first-floor windows. All windows are set within moulded architrave surrounds, and the glazing bars are missing. Corridors extend on either side of the house. The south-facing corridor acts as a flanking wall, while the north-facing corridor is partially underground. This flanking wall on each side has five round-headed arches; the arches on the east side are glazed. The flanking walls connect to garden pavilions, each of one storey, with former stables and offices located behind them. Each pavilion has three Venetian windows and a small round window in each corner, topped by a balustraded parapet. They have hipped slate roofs. Behind each pavilion is a two-storey building with three windows and a hipped tiled roof. The western building was formerly the stables and the eastern building served as offices, and both have now been converted into flats.

The west and east ends of the main house feature coupled Ionic pilasters that rise the full height of the building, with a pediment above containing a circular window within the pediment. The north or entrance front has three windows in each wing, with a pediment above the central ground-floor window. Photographs are held by the National Monument Record.
