Description
Bury Lodge is a country house designed in a Gothic style, built around 1840 to 1850, with later 19th-century vernacular extensions on the east side. The building features flint walls with fine galletting and some stone dressings from the later period. It has a hipped slate roof with varying levels, including one gabled end and one apse end.
The south elevation, facing the garden, is two storeys high and has five irregularly spaced windows. There is a gabled projecting wing on the east side with one window, and a verandah with a slate roof supported by flint columns topped with fluted wooden caps. A pediment slightly projects at the second bay. The upper windows are 19th-century casements, while the lower section includes three long sash windows and original pointed long windows at the first and second bays.
On the west elevation, the main block features an apse end, with a lower wing on the north side and an additional lower extension that forms part of the entrance. This section has one and a half storeys and three windows. The verandah continues from the south front, featuring coupled columns along the curve. The ground floor has Gothic windows, with a small Gothic casement above the wing, and 19th-century casements on the first floor of the apse.
The north elevation has a single-storey projecting feature that was once symmetrical, including a porchway with a pointed arch flanked by slender octagonal turrets. This feature has a high parapet and a pointed panel between the turrets. The recess of the porch contains niches on each side and two six-panelled doors set at an obtuse angle. The walls of this section are made of flint, with stuccoed flanking octagonal buttresses and a lancet window situated between them and the porch. The rest of the building, including its irregular late 19th-century extensions, exhibits a vernacular style.
