Description
Berwick House is a detached house dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of painted Flemish bond brick, with a hipped Welsh slate roof and rendered brick stacks. The house is square in shape, with a rear service courtyard. It is two storeys high and originally had four windows at the front. The central entrance has a six-panelled door with a fanlight and panelled reveals, set within a round-arched case with a flat wooden hood. It is accessed by six stone steps with a cast iron balustrade. To the right of the entrance is a tripartite sash window, and segmental-headed cellar casements are positioned either side. The first floor has four twelve-pane sashes. There is one gabled attic dormer with a leaded two-light casement and a hipped roof with deep eaves supported by paired brackets.
The garden front, on the left return, features a 20th-century cast-iron verandah with a glazed roof on scrolled brackets and columns. The ground floor has French windows, and the first floor has two twelve-pane sashes, along with two gabled dormers with six-pane sashes. The rear elevation has two slightly projecting stacks with offsets and twelve-pane sashes. A six-panelled door is also present.
On the right return is a six-panelled door with a transom light and flat wooden hood on brackets, leading to a service entrance porch. A 20th-century bathroom is positioned above, and there are twelve-pane sashes on either side, alongside a six-panelled door to the left.
The interior features six-panelled doors with beading, moulded plaster ceiling cornices, and a white marble fireplace surround with reeded details in the drawing room. There is a mid-18th century style staircase with turned balusters and shaped cheeks. Single-storey cob outbuildings are attached to the right return, enclosing the service yard, and have a hipped slate roof. Adjacent to these outbuildings, connected by a cob wall, is a five-bay cob cartshed with a tiled hipped roof and an open front. The house is likely a rebuild.
