Berrington Farmhouse

Berrington Farmhouse is a farmhouse with a core dating from the 17th century, although the lower end was rebuilt in the 19th century. It is constructed of cob on stone footings, finished with whitewash and render, and features a slate roof that is gabled at both ends. At the left end, there is a projecting 19th-century stone rubble stack with set-offs and coping that heats the lower end room. There is also a brick chimney shaft on the ridge for the hall stack and another brick chimney shaft at the right gable end stack that heats the inner room. The layout consists of three rooms and a cross or through passage, with a rear addition. The hall stack is positioned against the passage. The lower end appears to have been completely rebuilt in the 19th century, and the inner room may have originally been unheated, with a stack added later in the 19th century. A 19th-century stair has been inserted in the passage. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical four-window front, slightly advanced at the hall, featuring a gabled 19th-century brick porch and a 19th-century front door that leads into the passage. There are two 2-light casement windows from the late 19th century with glazing bars, while the rest of the windows are 20th-century with glazing bars in enlarged openings.

Inside, the hall contains a large fireplace with a chamfered lintel and diagonal stops on rebuilt stone rubble jambs. There are three axial beams, with the central beam chamfered and featuring ogee stops. The inner room has a 19th-century chimney piece with decorative tiling. The left gable end fireplace is large, with stone rubble jambs and a concealed lintel. The principal rafters visible in the first-floor rooms are straight, and there are 19th-century estate roof trusses.
