Description

Beadnell Hall, now divided into eight flats, dates to the 17th or early 18th century, with significant alterations and a partial refacing in the mid-18th century and a Gothick facade added in the late 18th century. A 20th-century addition extends to the right. The south side is built of random rubble with ashlar dressings, while the remainder of the building is ashlar with a Welsh slate roof. The building is three storeys high and comprises five bays.

The south (entrance) front features rusticated quoins and a double-chamfered plinth from the mid-18th century. The quoins of the original two-storey house are also visible. A mid-18th-century porch is centrally positioned and has an applied, pedimented door surround with a pulvinated frieze. It contains twelve-pane sash windows set within raised surrounds. A cornice runs along the top of the facade, with a pediment above the central bay. There are castellated gables and corniced end stacks. The 20th-century addition to the right incorporates four large, pointed-arched windows on its return, which were originally located in the gable end of the main house. Each gable has two quatrefoil attic windows. The rear facade is Gothick in style, showcasing a large, pointed-arched stair window and several other similar smaller windows, as well as a quatrefoil.

The interior contains four panelled rooms from the late 17th or early 18th century. Flat No.1 features a bolection-moulded fireplace with fluted, full-length pilasters and a triglyph frieze, as well as flanking round-headed niches – the niche on the left includes shaped shelves. Flat No. 2 has similar panelling, with Ionic columns, a niche with a shell hood and shaped shelves, and a modillion frieze. A late-18th-century staircase has stick balusters. Two further similar panelled rooms are located on the first floor.
