Description

Upper Berrow Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the 17th century and was remodeled in the mid-18th century, with further alterations and additions made around 1973. The building features a combination of timber framing with brick and rendered infill, as well as sections made entirely of brick, all topped with plain tiled roofs.

The farmhouse is designed in an L-shape, with the main two-bay section oriented roughly east to west, primarily constructed of 18th-century brick. There is an intersecting cross-wing that consists of two framed bays, with the southern bay now mostly brick. This wing has a large external chimney made of sandstone and brick, complete with tiled offsets, and a detached brick stack located at the gabled east side of its northern bay. There is also an 18th-century stack at the south gable end.

The building is partly two stories with an attic that includes a dormer, and partly a single story with an attic, featuring a four-course band between the storeys at the rear and a dentilled eaves cornice. The cross-wing displays four panels from the sill to the wall-plate, with short straight braces in the upper corners and collar and tie-beam trusses supported by struts, along with a V-strut in the apex of the north gable end. The windows are 20th-century leaded casements.

On the north front elevation, the main part has a ground floor 2-light window and a first floor 3-light window, both with cambered heads. There is a gabled dormer with a 2-light casement. The main entrance, located to the left, features a lean-to canopy supported by a shaped bracket that continues above the adjacent window, along with a 20th-century door that has a cambered head. A tall stack rises at the mid-roof pitch between the bays. A 20th-century wing projects from the right bay, which includes a 3-light ground floor window and a 2-light first floor window, as well as a 2-light first floor window in the angle. The gable end of the cross-wing has two 2-light windows and a single-light window on the ground floor, along with two attic lights.

Inside the north bay of the cross-wing, much of the framing remains intact, and there is a large fireplace. There is a small 20th-century addition at the rear of the cross-wing, as well as a single-storey two-bay wing on the east side that connects the building to the adjacent house, which was formerly a barn.
