Description
Berrie House is a house dating from the early 18th century, with extensions added in the 20th century. The main part of the building is timber-framed and clad in weatherboarding, with a roof of handmade red clay tiles, both plain and scalloped. The original layout was a lobby-entrance plan, featuring a central stack. A two-storey cross-wing was added to the right, projecting slightly forward of the main range and extending significantly to the rear. Further 20th-century wings include a two-storey wing to the rear left, a single-storey extension to the right of it, forming a catslide roof, and a single-storey extension to the left of this final wing.
The original building presents a symmetrical facade with two 20th-century casement windows on each floor. The roof is gambrel-shaped, incorporating horizontal bands of scalloped tiles alongside plain tiles. The entrance is now in the right-hand extension.
Inside, the ground floor rooms exhibit chamfered transverse beams with run-out stops, and plaster-covered joists. The left-hand room has a blocked, simple moulded fireplace and an original ledged and boarded door. The right-hand room features a 20th-century grate within an original wood-burning hearth, with a mantel beam pecked to key the former plaster, and also an original ledged and boarded door with a shaped wooden handle. The first-floor rooms retain original moulded three-plank doors; the right-hand room has an early 19th-century cast-iron ducknest grate. An original winder stair rose from the first floor to the attic, although the lower section is now missing. The listing records that the house's construction is linked to the enclosure of land in 1736.
