Description
Beckley Farmhouse and the attached farm buildings date from the early 18th century. They are constructed from coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and large quoins, topped with a roof made of Welsh slate and French tiles, featuring stone gable copings. The layout is U-shaped, with a two-storey, five-window house and a lower two-storey, six-bay farm building attached on the left. Additional ranges extend behind the house, forming three sides around a yard, with the house projecting forward.
The farmhouse has a central door that has been renewed, set in a plain stone surround. Above this door are late 19th-century sash windows with similar stone surrounds, with paired windows in the outer bays, the left ones being smaller. There are chimneys at both ends of the house. The farm building on the left features plain stone surrounds for two Dutch doors, an inserted bottom-hinged three-light window on the left, and partly-glazed loft openings on the right. There is also an empty square opening and a pitching hole above the second door. At the rear of this range, there is a boarded door in a slightly-chamfered plain stone surround, along with two loft openings that have flat stone lintels and sills. Other ranges include a boarded door in a stone surround and a boarded vehicle door facing the yard.
