Description


SS 90 sW THORVERTON
8/100 Berribridge House
17.3.76
GV II
House in use as restaurant and guest house. C17 and later. Whitewashed and
rendered; thatched roof with plain ridge half-hipped at ends; 3 projecting rear
lateral stacks with rendered shafts.
Plan: Single depth plan, 3 rooms wide with a single-storey thatched block at the
right end and a single-storey slate-roofed block at the left end. Early plan form
not clear at time of survey (1986) but it may have been a 3 room and through passage
arrangement (lower end to the left), or possibly a row of adjoining cottages.
Exterior : 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2:6 window buttressed front, the 2 right hand
windows in the slate-roofed block. Modern entrance on front into right hand room.
The second ground floor window from the left may have been converted from the doorway
to the putative passage. Small casement windows of various designs with glazing bars
some likely to be C18 with square leaded panes. The 3 projecting lateral stacks on
the rear elevation are an unusual feature, the rear right stack has a bread oven.
Interior : Not thoroughly inspected. Ground floor room left in the thatched block
has a small, probably rebuilt fireplace with chamfered stone jambs and an ovolo-
moulded lintel. The putative hall, in the centre has a blocked fireplace, possibly
concealing earlier features and roughly-chamfered cross beams; the right hand room
has a roughly-chamfered beam and exposed joists.
Roofspace not inspected at time of survey but may be of interest and there is a
possibility that medieval timbers survive which would revise the suggested dating.
