Beltingham House

Beltingham House is a house dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of squared stone with a slate roof and ashlar stacks. The main house is a double-span building with a symmetrical three-bay facade. Features include rusticated quoins, a moulded plinth, a first-floor band, a modillion cornice, and a parapet with moulded coping. The central entrance is accessed by three semicircular steps, leading to a six-panel door surmounted by a four-pane fanlight. The door is set within a doorcase of swept architrave, incorporating a pulvinated frieze and a pedimented cornice on consoles. Tripartite sash windows are set within architraves with slightly projecting sills. A twelve-pane sash window on the first floor, centrally located, is framed by a shouldered and eared architrave with a pulvinated frieze and cornice. A domestic wing, set back to the left, was converted from a farm building in 1903, as indicated by a dated inscription above the door. The rear elevation exhibits similar detailing to the front. Internally, the house features an altered 18th-century staircase, plaster cornices, and several 18th-century fireplaces with Gothick grates.
