Beesley Hall

Beesley Hall comprises three houses, originally believed to date from the 17th century or earlier, but now understood to be largely of the mid-19th century. The houses are built of English garden wall bond brick, with picturesque timber framing in parts, and have a roof of graduated stone slate and slate. The symmetrical front elevation has six bays and one storey, plus an attic. Each house has a boarded door set within a cambered brick arch, originally with a brick hoodmould, though these are now partially obscured by later porches in houses number 251 and 252 (the latter having a small addition to the right). There are four two-light casement windows with single glazing bars, set within cambered brick heads and brick hoodmoulds. Bays two and five are gabled projections, two storeys high and constructed in timber framing, featuring three-light windows, one of which is a later bow window. A zig-zag brick band runs below the eaves. Three-light dormer windows are present in the attic. Four ridge chimney stacks are visible. The rear elevation features a central gable and two gabled dormer windows, both ornamented with raised lozenge panels in brick. The rear has windows and doors similar to those at the front.
