Berryside The Nutshell

Berryside, also known as The Nutshell, is a house that has been converted into two dwellings. It features a datestone marked I.S./1648 and incorporates elements from the 18th and 19th centuries. The building is constructed from squared coursed and part banded limestone, with some areas now rendered. The roofs are covered with Collyweston slate, Welsh slate, and concrete tiles.

Originally, the house likely had a T-shaped plan and is single storey with an attic. The main front has three bays, with the center bay projecting forward as a gabled cross-wing. The bay to the right is likely a later addition and aligns with the gable end. The façade includes three 20th-century casement windows with wooden lintels, along with one similar window on the return wall of the cross-wing that has a rendered head.

To the left of the cross-wing, there is a doorway with a moulded stone surround and a 4-centred arch-head, topped with a cornice. The building features hipped eaves dormers on the far right and the return wall of the cross-wing, as well as a Lincolnshire dormer on the left, all fitted with 20th-century casements. The gable ends are adorned with ashlar parapets and there are brick and stone stacks at the ridge and ends. The center bay has a Collyweston slate roof, and there is a datestone in the form of a shield located to the left of the ground floor window. The right gable has a part-glazed door beneath a wooden lintel, with a 19th-century casement window above it, also under a wooden lintel. The cross-wing extends to the rear and includes 20th-century dormer windows. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to contain remnants of an open fireplace.
