Bere Chapel Farmhouse

Bere Chapel Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with earlier evidence such as a piscina and later alterations. The building features dressed stone walls resting on a rubble-stone base, topped with a slate roof. It has three stacks, two made of stone, with one located at the cross-passage and featuring a moulded cornice and stone flashing, while the other is at the former right-hand gable. The farmhouse stands two storeys tall and has six windows, three of which are stone mullions with separate labels above. The wooden casements include glazing-bars and wooden cills. The right-hand bay has a French window with glazing-bars and a three-light window above it.

Inside, the layout includes a lower room on the left with a stone spiral stair in the corner, a cross-passage, a hall, and an inner room. There are three stone fireplaces in the ground floor rooms, each with straight chamfered jambs and depressed-arch heads. A substantial stone spiral stair leads to the room above, which contains a stone piscina in the gable wall, featuring a pointed arch with a slight chamfer and a drain, indicating its medieval origins. The roof is supported by four joint-cruck trusses with slip-tenoned joints, and the collar beam is halved into the side of the principal with a decorative joint. The floors are made of flagstone.
