North Beerhill Farmhouse

North Beerhill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around the late 16th century, with additions from the 18th and 19th centuries and modernisation in the late 20th century. The building features rendered cob walls and a slate roof that is gabled at the left end and hipped at the right. There is a brick stack at the left gable end and a brick shaft at the right-hand end, along with a rendered rubble or cob axial stack.

The farmhouse has a 3-room and through passage plan, with the lower end located to the left. The hall stack is positioned against the passage, while the inner room is unheated, and the lower room is heated by the gable end stack. A small unheated dairy wing was likely added behind the lower room in the 18th century, and a 19th-century outshut was constructed behind the hall. Currently, the property is undergoing modernisation, which includes the installation of stairs at the rear of the hall.

The exterior is two storeys high and features an asymmetrical front with three windows, which are small-paned 2 and 3-light casements from the 19th or early 20th century. There is a 20th-century lean-to porch to the left of centre with a part-glazed door. The rear elevation includes a wing projecting from the right-hand end and an outshot to the left of centre.

Inside, the passage has chamfered cross beams with convex stops. The hall fireplace is constructed with granite jambs and a high chamfered wooden lintel. The two ceiling beams closest to the fireplace are chamfered on the side facing it and moulded on the opposite side, while the central cross beam is richly moulded. At the higher end of the hall, there is a plank and muntin screen with moulded edges on the muntins and a moulded head-beam. The inner room features a similar moulded beam as found in the hall. The lower room fireplace is partially blocked, but one granite jamb and the end of the wooden lintel are still visible. The roof retains three old, likely original trusses—one over the hall/inner room, one by the hall stack that has been cut off, and one over the lower room. These trusses have straight feet and morticed collars and are not smoke-blackened.
