Berries Farmhouse Including Outbuilding Adjoining West

Berries Farmhouse, with an adjoining outbuilding, likely began as a 16th or 17th century building, significantly remodelled around the late 17th or 18th century. The farmhouse is constructed of roughcast stone rubble, while the roof is thatched, featuring a hipped end to the right and a gable end to the left. The outbuilding at the left end has a lower, corrugated iron roof, forming a gablet due to a previous lean-to against the left gable. A rendered axial stack sits at the left hand end of the thatched roof, with a tapered shaft, slate weathering, and a brick section added later.

The house appears to have an original three-room plan. The lower left room is an outbuilding, into which the main house accommodation was extended, incorporating a through passage. The left-hand room would have been the former hall, heated by a stack backing onto the passage; the right-hand room is slightly smaller and seemingly unheated. A staircase rises from the back of the passage against the former hall's back wall, possibly positioned in front of a truncated lateral stack which predates the hall’s axial stack. A circa 18th or 19th century lean-to outbuilding is located at the lower end.

The front of the farmhouse has an almost symmetrical three-window arrangement on the right-hand side, featuring three small 19th-century casements with glazing bars on the first floor, and two larger 20th-century casements on the ground floor. Slate sills are present on the three first floor windows and the ground floor right-hand window. A 20th-century glazed door occupies the doorway slightly to the right of centre. The left-hand outbuilding has a lower roofline and three irregularly spaced ground floor windows: two small 20th-century casements to the right, and a small, probably 19th-century, fixed-light window with nine panes to the left.

The rear elevation is rendered at the upper left-hand end. A 19th-century glazed and panelled door marks the former passage. To the left of the door, the rear wall projects slightly. To the right of the doorway, there are two crude corbelled steps leading up to the loft doorway, alongside a blocked ventilation slit. The lower end wall is partly constructed of cob. A reused principal rafter in the lean-to shows a mortise for a threaded purlin. The interior was not inspected.
