A village on the county border
Bures is unusual in sitting on both sides of the River Stour: Bures Hamlet on the Essex bank and Bures St Mary on the Suffolk bank. Like much of the Stour Valley, it is full of period homes, many timber-framed and listed, along with newer houses on the edges of the village.
These homes are hundreds of years old, with walls that lean, floors that slope and beams in awkward places. A good bathroom works with that character rather than fighting it, which might mean a slightly smaller suite, lightweight wall boards instead of heavy tiles, or extra care with waterproofing. Our guide to small bathroom ideas for period cottages explains the approach.
Rural Stour Valley homes also need extra care in winter. Long pipe runs to outbuildings, solid walls, suspended floors and oil-fired heating can all leave pipes vulnerable, as our winter plumbing checklist explains. We also cover nearby villages, including Wormingford, Mount Bures and Nayland.
