Description

Beara Farmhouse and Cottage is a pair of cottages that were formerly a farmhouse and cottage, dating from the early to mid-19th century. The buildings have solid walls, likely made of stone; the farmhouse features slate-hanging at the front, while the cottage is rendered. Both have slated roofs, with the farmhouse having a catslide roof at the rear. Each gable of the farmhouse has a granite ashlar chimney stack, while the cottage has a rendered stack on its left gable.

The farmhouse has a symmetrical plan, consisting of two rooms deep and two rooms wide, and is two storeys tall. Its front has three windows, all featuring three-light 19th-century wooden casements with four panes per light on the ground storey and three panes on the second storey. In the centre of the ground storey, there is a granite ashlar entrance porch with a moulded cornice at the top. The doorway is segmental-headed, with round-arched windows on the side walls.

The cottage is two windows wide and has casements that match those of the farmhouse, except for the right-hand second storey window, which has twelve panes per light. The doorway in the right-hand bay of the ground storey has an open-fronted stone entrance porch with a gabled roof, and the front of the gable is slate-hung, featuring an old plank inner door. Attached to the right-hand front corner of the farmhouse is a former outbuilding, which has been converted to living accommodation. This outbuilding has exposed granite rubble walls and a half-hipped slated roof.
