THE BURY is a significant property dating back to the 16th century and is Grade II listed. Traditionally constructed with a heavy timber frame of oak or elm with rendered elevations under a tiled roof. There are later extensions which now offer extensive character accommodation. The majority of the rooms are timbered, with views over the garden.

The accommodation is set over three floors and includes an entrance hall, porch and cloakroom, three reception rooms, as well as a conservatory and a generous sized office. There is a second office above the family room at the other end of the house. A second hall leads to the kitchen/breakfast room which has a range of storage cupboards and an oil-fired Aga and doors lead to the terrace and pool, beyond this there is a family room, walk in pantry and a generously proportioned utility room. There is also a useful cellar.

On the first and second floors there are six bedrooms served by three bath/shower rooms and two en-suite. All bedrooms either have an en-suite or wash hand basin.

Outside, the grounds and outbuildings are notable and form an important part of this small country estate. The Bury lies in the pretty hamlet of Bury Green and is approached through a remote controlled 5-bar gate to a tarmacadam driveway which leads in turn to a 4-bay car port providing garaging. Adjoining and behind the car port, there is a large timber framed and weather-boarded barn.

Adjoining the barn there is a three-bedroom single storey cottage which has been renovated and provides very good accommodation including a sitting/dining room, kitchen, modern bathroom and three good sized bedrooms. The building adjoins a sizeable period barn. The bungalow is attached to the barn, and with the relevant planning consents, this barn could be incorporated partially or entirely with the bungalow to create an exceptional dwelling. Alternatively, part of the barn might be converted leaving the other section to be used for recreational purposes - padel board, squash court, table tennis, etc.
