Beaumont House

Beaumont House is a school that has been converted into offices, built in 1851 as indicated by an inscribed panel stating 'ERECTED BY W.B. BEAUMONT ESQ. 1851'. The building features squared stone with tooled ashlar dressings and a Lakeland slate roof, designed in the Tudor Gothic style. It is composed of one and two storeys with a symmetrical layout of three plus one plus three bays. The structure has a chamfered plinth and a projecting two-storey gabled central bay that includes two-light mullioned windows with an inscribed panel in between. The flanking one-storey sections also have similar windows and projecting porches at the end bays, featuring renewed doors with overlights beneath plain stone panels, with gables that break the eaves line. All openings are set within recessed chamfered surrounds and have hoodmoulds, with glazing that has been renewed. The gables are adorned with serpentine bargeboards and moulded finials, and the building has overhanging eaves. There are four tall stepped and corniced ridge stacks with conjoined shafts. The rear elevation reveals a two-storey house with renewed sash windows in chamfered surrounds and a triple ridge stack.
