Description
Berkeley Cottage is a pair of houses built around 1639, with alterations made around 1900, likely by Ernest Newton for the Martin family. The buildings are constructed from coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and feature a stone tiled roof laid in diminishing courses. They have gable-end parapets with gabled finials, a weathervane at the west end, and an ashlar ridge stack also at the west end. The houses are single storey with an attic and dormers, comprising three bays.
The windows are all chamfered mullioned types with leaded casements. On the ground floor, there are two 3-light windows and one 2-light window, all with hoodmoulds. The three gabled dormers have parapets with gabled finials and 3-light windows with dripmoulds. The entrances are located in the outer bays; the left entrance features a round-headed archway with moulded jambs, while the right has a chamfered 4-centred archway. Both entrances have square heads, and the hoodmould above the adjacent windows continues over both archways.
The east gable end includes a ground floor and attic mullioned window with a hoodmould, as well as a small 2-light mullioned window with a dripmould in the gable apex. There is a large rear wing from around 1900, which is also single storey with an attic and dormers, featuring leaded casement windows. The entrance on the west side has a flat canopy supported by shaped brackets and a half-glazed door. The gateway mentioned in the Victoria County History is now located on the south side of the road in the garden wall, approximately 80 yards north of the Vicarage.
