Summary
The majority of the present Ber House, now in use as offices, dates to the late 18th to early 19th centuries. However, a short stretch of 16th to 17th century first floor rear wall timber framing remains, completely isolated within this large building. Apart from this older section, this three storey building is of red brick and has a hipped roof of black pantiles. Inside, early 17th century timber framing survives at the wall-plate level on the second floor rear wall.
