Description
The Bunbury Quiet Corner is a house dating back to the 17th century, which was later faced with brick in the 18th century. It has an old tile roof. The building is two storeys high and now divided into two separate dwellings. There are two modern gabled porches, four casement windows on the ground floor with segmental arches above, and four casement windows on the first floor. A large chimney with tiled offsets is prominent on the east gable. The interior retains exposed timber framing, and in the Quiet Corner there is an inglenook fireplace with a chamfered beam.
