Description
Berehayes Farmhouse is a 16th-century farmhouse that was largely rebuilt in the 19th century. It features rubble walls made of blue lias and lias stone quoins arranged in long and short work. The roof is slate with low-pitched gable ends and there is one brick stack located to the right of the center. The building has 1 ½ storeys and includes four windows with wooden casements that have two and three lights, complete with glazing bars and wooden lintels above. The left-hand casement is from a former cheese room and has cast iron trelliswork on the side lights. The front door, positioned to the right of center, is a wide plank type framed in heavy round-headed oak with straight chamfers, dating back to the 16th century.
Inside, the farmhouse has been largely rebuilt, but the right-hand ground floor room retains an open fireplace with moulded stone jambs and a moulded wood lintel from the late 16th century. There is a back doorway similar to the front door, although it is not aligned. Additionally, there is an attached rubble wall along the lane that extends for 25 yards, made of rubble with some coursed lias.
