Description
Beere Farmhouse, dating from around 1800, is a two-storey farmhouse located in Thorncombe. The south front features rubble walls that are rendered, with stone pilasters at the corners. It has a wooden modillion cornice along with stone-coped gable ends and a slate roof. There are three 20th-century brick stacks, positioned at each gable and one just left of the center. The facade has three bays with sash windows that have moulded cement-stone architraves and stone cills. The central panelled front door is topped with a rectangular fanlight that includes glazing bars. A portico supported by Tuscan half-columns and pedestals features a simple moulded entablature with a castellated top, which may date to the mid-19th century.
On the north front, there are tall stone-mullioned windows with two and three lights, complete with labels, dating from the 19th century. Inside, the corridor hall has a wide elliptical arch adorned with acanthus moulded capitals and pilasters at the base of the staircase. The staircase, featuring a mahogany handrail, is from around 1800. The fireplaces are made of white and black marble, with recessed lancets in the jambs and bracket supports from the 19th century.
There are two attached buildings at the rear. The granary/loft to the north-east, possibly from the 18th century or earlier, has rubble walls with stone quoins and stone arch-heads with projecting keys. It features stone coping on the gable end and a slate roof, with an external stair that has freestone treads, positioned at right angles to the wall face. The loft door is set in the gable end and includes a beam and an iron pulley-wheel. The attached cottage to the north-west may also date from the 18th century, featuring rubble walls with stone quoins, a slate roof, two brick stacks, and 20th-century wooden casements. The farmhouse and its two rear attachments create an open-U shape in plan.
