DESCRIPTION
The Black Dog and Duck is a very pretty Grade II listed house situated in the heart of the popular downland village of Bury. As the name suggests, the property was for many years a public house, with origins believed to date from the 1600’s. The very attractive external elevations include a combination of flint with brick quoins, timber framing and red brick, all under partially thatched and partially clay tiled roofs. The very well-presented property includes a wealth of original features, including extensive timber framing and inglenook fireplaces. Having been extensively refurbished in recent years, the property also offers many of the more modern comforts.
The flexible accommodation includes, on the ground floor, an entrance hall, fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, sitting room, drawing room, study/bedroom 3, cloakroom and utility room. On the first floor there is a good size main bedroom with ensuite bathroom, bedroom 2 with en suite shower room. There is a single bedroom and a former bedroom has been converted into a fully fitted dressing room.
Outside the property is approached over a gravel entrance drive with ample parking and with a pretty front garden to one side. The current owners have recently converted the former double garage into an annexe with shower/steam room and first floor bedroom. To one side is a brick building currently used as a gym. The private south facing garden includes a beautiful, heated swimming pool, with a large, paved terrace to once side. There is also a lovely, paved terrace accessed from the kitchen. The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn with beds planted with shrubs and all bordered by various matures hedges and trees.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
