Berry Cottage

Berry Cottage is a pair of attached cottages that have been converted into one house. Originally built in the mid-18th century, it was extended in the 19th century and further modified in the 20th century. The structure is made of dressed and snecked greensand stone and features a thatched roof with gabled ends and gable-end stacks with brick shafts.

The layout consists of two mirror-image cottages, each with a front entry leading into a kitchen that includes a large gable-end fireplace with an oven, along with a small unheated pantry in the center. In the 19th century, an outbuilding was added to the left end. During the 20th century, the cottages were combined into a single residence, with the pantry partitions removed, the right-hand front doorway blocked, and the ovens taken out. The accommodation was extended into the outbuilding, and a single-storey extension was added at the back.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical south front, featuring three small 2-light casements on the first floor and three 2-light casements along with two small center windows on the ground floor. The doorway is located to the left of center and has a thatched canopy supported by wooden posts, while the right-hand doorway has been converted into a window. There is also a single-storey, one-bay range on the left with a lower thatched roof and a 2-light casement, as well as a brick single-storey outshut at the rear.

Inside, many structural features have been preserved. The two original ground floor rooms retain roughly chamfered cross-beams and large stone fireplaces with cambered chamfered bressumers, although the ovens have been removed. The roof features tenoned purlins with pole common rafters, and there is some joinery from the late 19th and 20th centuries, along with a 20th-century staircase.
