Description
Bury Bar House is a detached house dating from the mid 19th century. It features a front made of rendered brickwork, painted sides, and a tiled roof. The building is three windows wide and two rooms deep, standing two storeys tall with attics. It has a rendered plinth and rusticated quoins. The central entrance consists of a four-panelled front door that is accessed via a stone step, topped with a semi-circular fanlight and a moulded architrave that swells out at the base, all beneath a hipped porch with a sagging sheet-metal roof and scalloped eaves supported by simple iron brackets.
On either side of the entrance are semi-circular headed windows with single-pane sashes, stone sills on small consoles at the ends, and moulded surrounds that also swell out at the base. The first floor features three similar windows. The eaves are adorned with close-set shaped brackets over moulding, supporting a wide, flat soffit. Lion-heads are positioned at wide intervals along the gutter. The house has three gabled dormers, each with single-pane sashes and semi-circular heads, beneath ornate bargeboards and timber finials at the apex. Brick gable chimneys with modelled tops and crested ridge tiles complete the structure. Bury Bar House occupies a prominent position.
