Description
Bury Farmhouse, located on the south side of London Road in Amersham, dates from the 16th century but has been altered in the 18th and early 19th centuries, with additional changes made later. Originally timber framed, one corner post is still visible on the left side of the rear elevation. The rear and flank walls are made of red brick, while the front elevation is roughcast and painted. The rear roofslope features old tiles, and the front has raised Welsh slate from the early 19th century. A plain brick chimney stack is present.
The farmhouse is two storeys high, with the front elevation showcasing four 3-light leaded casements on the first floor and two similar 4-light casements at each end on the ground floor. There is a six-panel door set in a trellis porch to the left of centre, a 2-light leaded casement to the right, and a tripartite sash window to the right of centre. The irregular rear elevation includes a central gable, a projecting gabled wing on the left, and a one-storey projection also on the left, featuring casement and sash windows along with various 19th-century doors.
Inside, the back door opens to a fine moulded wood 'Tudor' archway with curved spandrels and chamfer stops. The farmhouse has historical significance as the home of Mary Penington, who was visited by William Penn, who married her daughter Gulielma Springett. Attached to the west end of the farmhouse is a high boundary wall made of flint and brick, which is located at the corner of Gore Hill, along with a one-storey gabled outbuilding that is also attached.
