Berkeley House

Berkeley House is a house dating from the 17th century, which was refronted probably in the mid-18th century and has undergone alterations and additions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for the Martin family. It is constructed of limestone ashlar and features a hipped slate roof with swept eaves and two large brick stacks at the rear. The building has three storeys and an attic with dormers, an ashlar band at the first floor level, and a moulded eaves cornice.

The facade is arranged in a 2:1:2 bay pattern. The ground and first floor windows have plain raised architraves supported by two corbels, with the central first floor window featuring a moulded keyblock. All windows on these floors are 12-pane sashes, except for two bays on the right side of the ground floor, which have an early 20th-century canted bay window with a moulded cornice and 12-pane sashes. The second floor windows are all 6-pane sashes. The central entrance has a moulded cornice and plain raised architrave, with a door that has six raised and fielded panels and a plain transom light.

The side elevations include 20th-century flat-roofed dormer windows with 4-pane casements, and the left side features a canted bay window similar to the one on the right side of the front elevation. At the rear left is the original rubble part of the house from the 17th century, which is two storeys high and has two bays. There is also a 19th-century service wing at the rear right. Inside, the house retains its central open well staircase with turned balusters leading to the first floor, stick balusters above, and a moulded, wreathed handrail.
