Description
Buryan House is a house dating from the early to mid-19th century. It features stuccoed front walls, with the rest made of painted rubble, and has a grouted scantle slate hipped roof in an L-plan shape with projecting eaves. The house has stuccoed chimneys on the side walls. The layout includes a double depth plan with an L-shaped design and a 20th-century extension at the rear. There are two rooms at the front, flanking a central entrance hall that leads to a stair hall. There is likely a shallow service room behind the left-hand room and a large room behind the right-hand room.
The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-window front facing southeast. It has a plinth, a first-floor sill band, and flanking giant panelled pilasters. The central doorway features an original six-panel door with a three-pane overlight, set within a simple Doric porch that has an entablature. The first-floor windows to the right and above the doorway are original 12-pane hornless sashes, while the other windows are horned replacements. The right-hand wall serves as a three-window garden front, with the central ground floor window and the first-floor left-hand window being blind. The other first-floor windows are original 12-pane horned sashes, and there is an old conservatory on the left side. The interior has not been inspected.
