Description

HALBERTON BRITHEM BOTTOM
ST 01 SW
2/181
- Middle Beer
GV
II
Detached house. C17. Cob, stone plinth, plastered to front; random rubble with
some brick elsewhere, under half-hipped asbestos tiled roof. Probably a 2-room,
cross-passage plan, the axial stack, plastered shaft, backing onto the now blocked
passage.
Front: scattered fenestration; 2-light casement windows, all rather small, 2 to
first floor, 3 to ground.
Rear: with 3 small 2-light C19 casement windows to first floor, 2 below, with brick
window arches.
Interior: roughly chamfered beams; fireplace with chamfered lintel, hollow step
stops. 2 C17 or C18 planked doors with rails, 1 with original lock. C19 pump to
front garden. Middle Beer occupies a central position in the hamlet of Brithem
Bottom; it was originally a farm in all probability, and may, in part at least, be
roughly contemporary with neighbouring Lower Beer (q.v.) and Overdale (q.v.).
