Description
Beara Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with possibly earlier materials hidden within its structure. It has been altered and extended in the 19th century. The building features painted rendered cob and stone, and has a slate roof that is hipped at the left end. There is a brick stack at the right end, a lateral stack to the rear lower end with a brick shaft, and a truncated lateral hall stack at the front.
The farmhouse has a 3-room through-passage plan, with a wing added to the front of the lower end that includes a rubble stack with a brick shaft at the gable end. A two-storey gable-ended extension was added to the rear in the 19th century. The building is two storeys high and has a three-window range of 2-light casements, each with six panes per light. The doorway is located to the left of the truncated stack, and there is a large 12-paned fixed light reaching to ground level, which includes French windows, to the right. The right-angled extension features a 2-light casement with six panes per light above a 2-light window with four panes per light. Additionally, there is a dairy outshut with a corrugated asbestos roof at the angle of the 19th-century extension to the rear. The interior has been altered.
