Description

Beacon View is a farmhouse, now a house, dated 1713 at the first floor. It has been extended and altered over time. The building is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble and features a stone slate roof. It has a transitional double-depth two-unit plan and stands two low storeys high with two almost symmetrical windows. The façade includes a first-floor band and gabled half-dormers. The doorway is offset to the right and has a thin lintel with a board door. The ground floor has enlarged square windows, while the first floor features vertical-rectangular windows. Above the door, there is a square datestone with raised lettering that reads: T/E H/1713. A ridge chimney is located in the center of the roof, which slopes down to a single storey at the rear.

Local climate

Beacon View sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,160 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 89% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
