Description

Beara Farmhouse, which includes an adjoining outbuilding to the east, is a farmhouse with attached stables that date from the late 16th century to early 17th century or possibly earlier. The building features a stone rubble construction with an asbestos slate roof that has both hipped and gabled ends, along with rendered stacks.

The layout consists of three rooms and a through passage, with an oriel hall stack located at the back of the passage and a kitchen stack at the lower gable end. The inner room appears to be unheated. There are later additions at the rear, including outshuts and stables added to the lower end of the farmhouse. The structure is two storeys high and has a two-window range.

On the first floor, there are 18th-century three and four-light casements with leaded panes, while the ground floor features 19th-century four-light casements set in brick flat-arched openings. A plank door is situated to the right of the centre. The farmhouse is positioned at right angles to the road, with the adjoining stables located at the lower (right) end. The stables are constructed of stone rubble, with the first floor clad in corrugated iron and a scantle slate half-hipped roof, along with external stairs leading to a loft door. A timber ovolo moulded two-light window is present in the east end wall.

Inside, there are three moulded ceiling beams in the hall, which have run-out stops, and a timber fireplace lintel above the oriel stack. The interior has only been partially inspected, and the roof space and first-floor rooms have not been examined.
