Description
Bernwode House is a house dating from approximately 1770 to 1780. It is located on the High Street in Brill. The front facade is constructed of vitreous header brick with red brick quoins and vertical strips. Architectural details include a moulded plinth, a plain band course to the first floor, and dentil eaves. The side walls are of checkered brickwork with modillion eaves. The roof is hipped and covered in old tiles, with brick chimneys, one of which is twentieth-century brick.
The building has a T-shaped plan and extends over two storeys, a cellar, and an attic, with three bays across the front. It has boxed sash windows, with four panes beside three panes, all with gauged brick heads. There are two hipped dormers with paired leaded casements, and a cellar window with a segmental head to the left. The central entrance door consists of two tall panels and is top-lit, set within a wooden architrave frame with a moulded wooden cornice hood. An early 19th-century single-storey bay is attached to the right side, and has a slate roof.
