Description
The Bury is a country house built in 1716 for William Lowndes, who served as Secretary to the Treasury during the reign of Queen Anne. Originally featuring a five-bay front, the house was extended to seven bays in the late 18th century, with a wing added in 1853. The building is constructed of red brick with rusticated quoins and has two storeys, a cornice, and a panelled parapet. It features sash windows with glazing bars set under cambered cutter arches, along with two ground floor segmental bow windows and a Venetian window at either end of the first floor. The entrance front includes a Neo-Tudor wing above a carriage arch, while a Neo-Georgian arcade connects the house to a summer house in the north garden. The interior retains some original panelling. The Bury, along with the Stables and the North and South Lodges, forms a group.
