Description

Beard Mill Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the early 17th century, with an 18th-century front bay and rear extension, along with later alterations. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features a gabled stone slate roof with a stone ridge stack. The building has a two-unit lobby-entry plan, which was extended to an L-plan in the 18th century.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a three-window range. The two-storey projecting central bay includes 20th-century timber lintels over 20th-century two-light casements. To the right, there are timber lintels over 20th-century French doors, and an ovolo-moulded timber lintel above a late 18th or early 19th-century four-light leaded casement window. A similar lintel is found over a three-light casement, with a comparable 20th-century window above in the left bay.

At the rear, there is a 17th-century ovolo-moulded wood-mullioned three-light dormer window and an 18th-century plank door set in a heavy frame. The 18th-century rear left wing is one storey and has an attic, using similar materials. The interior has not been inspected but is noted to have fine 18th-century doorcases and a fireplace, which may have been brought to the house in the early 19th century, along with remodelled open fireplaces in the rear and left sections.
