Description
Beaumont Hall is a house built in 1908 by Stockdale Harrison. It is primarily constructed of brick with decorative diaper work and stone dressings, featuring some tile hanging and half-timbering. The roof is plain tiled. The building is designed in a Domestic Revival style, showcasing an asymmetrical arrangement of various vernacular elements.
The house has two storeys with attics and is arranged in an L-shape, with one wing serving as the service area. The entrance front is situated in a courtyard formed by the wings and features a full-height gabled porch with a round-arched entrance and a wood mullioned and transomed window above. To the right of the entrance, there is a wide bay with a four-light mullioned and transomed window on the ground floor, and grouped windows of one and three lights above, along with a dormer set within the roof.
The service wing has a different treatment, with a smooth rendered upper storey, wood casement windows, and large gabled dormers. The eaves are overhanging and supported by long wrought-iron brackets. The gable wall of the main range is architecturally detailed with a projecting inglenook stack that features a small stained glass light, and a tile-hung gable over a canted bay that includes a leaded casement with stone mullions.
The garden front has four bays, with paired gables on the left and a single gable on the right, separated by a large low sweep of the roof over a wide canted bay window, which is sheltered by the overhanging eaves. Above this bay window is a dormer. The right-hand gable features a wide canted bay window with a sundial inscribed "horas non numero nisi serenas" above it. There is also a canted bay window on the inner left-hand bays, with grouped casements of one and three lights beyond.
On the west side elevation, a projecting gabled bay is half-timbered and includes an oriel window with a small central bow at the first floor level, along with coving at the jettied gable apex above. The building showcases massive gables and axial stacks that are expressed and moulded.
