Bermerside House

Bernerside House is a small country house dating from 1872, built for Edward Crossley. It is constructed of coursed stone with ashlar dressings, and has slate roofs with moulded ashlar stacks, raised coped gables, and finials. The building features a plinth, cill and impost bands, moulded eaves, and a pierced parapet. The windows are plain sashes.

The south garden front has a central pair of French doors within a moulded ashlar surround, above which is a single sash window. To the left is a two-storey, shallow bow window with three lights, and a small two-light window in the gable. To the left of this is a projecting wing with a three-light square bay window, and above it a two-light window, with a tiny two-light window in the gable. The west front displays a canted bay window on the ground floor and two sash windows above, with a datestone between them. Beyond, a projecting gabled wing is attached to a former conservatory, remodelled circa 1960. Further along is a small, two-storey observatory, showcasing a round-headed doorway with side lights in a moulded surround, and a hood above which forms a balcony to the window above.

The entrance front features a projecting porch with Ionic columns and a round-headed doorway with double panel doors. Above the doorway is a single sash window. To the left is a tripartite sash, and above a double sash with a small sash in the gable. A set-back wing to the left has a two-light bay window and two sashes above.

Internally, the hall, staircase, and main reception rooms retain their original plasterwork and marble fireplaces. The staircase hall contains plaster pilasters, an elaborate stair, and a large, two-panel stained glass window. Original doors and doorcases are present throughout.
