Description - Buerton House is a distinctive detached house constructed of brick under a tiled roof. The approach, off Woore Road, is via impressive brick gate pillars over a block paved drive leading to a large car parking and turning area. The house is rich in character, history and period features. It is believed to date back in part to the late 15th Century with early 17th and 19th Century additions. It is not listed. As is typical of a period house, the room sizes are excellent and this is a home that would accommodate a large family with ease. In total the house extends to about 3,300 square feet (gross internal) with ample versatile space to be adapted to suit individual requirements. The house was modernised 35 years ago and is now ready for further improvements.

Buerton House has been a much treasured home for many years and it will be interesting to see the profile of the next custodians of this splendid one off property.
