Description

Berwick Hall is a house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, with a roof covered in handmade red clay tiles. The building has four bays aligned north-south, facing east, and features two internal rear chimney stacks. There is a rear wing extending from the southern bay, creating an L-plan, with an internal chimney stack at the junction and an 18th or 19th-century extension beyond that also has an internal chimney stack. The 18th-century extension at the rear of the main range has three gables on the west side and a small two-storey extension in the angle. The main building has two storeys and an unlit attic, while the most westerly extension is single storey with attics.

On the ground floor, there is a French window and three tripartite double-hung sash windows, all dating from the late 19th century, and four sash windows on the first floor. The roof is hipped at both the north and south ends. The south chimney stack has a recessed panel that is now blank but was reported by the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments to have previously displayed the date 1635. In the upper west elevation, there is one 18th-century window with three fixed lights.

Inside, the hall features beams with lamb's tongue and bar stops, and half-height jowls on the storey posts with decorative serrated fringes, which are original. One beam is elaborately carved with a foliate design. The staircase has fretted flat balusters, mostly original, with some reproduction elements. The roof has clasped purlins, and the attic contains original rebated floorboards and partitions made of wattle and daub. The site is moated.
