What is recorded here
Freestanding subterranean ice house, built c. 1740, now disused. Six rubble stone steps to square-headed entrance, droved ashlar lintel with red brick jambs, rubble stone walled chamber. Located to south-east of Beaulieu House, within the gardens.
This functional building is located within close proximity to Beaulieu House. The architectural treatment of the entrance adds to the quality of the structure. The ice house survives as a reminder of the period before artificial ice production became established in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and a time when the ice house was the only reliable means of refrigeration.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
