What is recorded here
Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1800, with entrance porch, c.1960, and return to rear. Hipped slate roof with cast-iron rainwater goods and rendered chimneystacks. Pebbledashed walls. Square-headed window openings with timber sash windows and limestone sills. Round-headed door opening within porch with tooled limestone surround and a replacement timber and glazed door. Single- and two-storey rendered outbuildings to rear yard. Wrought-iron gates with cast-iron piers to front site. Wrought-iron double gates supported by rendered piers to roadside.
Located amongst mature beech trees, Beech Lawn House displays the restraint and reserve typical of house styles of this period. Though now hidden behind a later added front entrance porch, the round-headed door opening was once the only decorative feature on the balanced front elevation. The original six-over-six timber sash windows survive and contribute significantly to the character of the house. The structure's modest scale is deceptive as it hides a large rear return that may pre-date the front portion of the house.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
