Beauvale Manor Farmhouse Gatehouse And Boundary Wall

Beauvale Manor Farmhouse, gatehouse, and boundary wall date from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The structure is built from coursed and squared rubble and brick, featuring timber framing and brick nogging, topped with a plain tile roof. The eaves are partially cogged and rebated, and there are four gable stacks and a single ridge stack. The building is two storeys tall, measuring four bays wide and four bays deep, arranged in an L-plan.

The northwest front has an off-centre casement window where the original door was located, flanked by two additional casements. To the right, there is a single-storey gabled bay with a 19th-century casement. Above this, to the left, is another casement window. The rear has an off-centre door flanked by single casements, with three casements above. The west gable features an addition with a door to the left and two casements to the right, with two more casements above. The rear wing includes a dairy to the west with a casement and door, and two casements above.

The timber-framed gatehouse has a carriage opening with a segmental head, a door, and a casement to its right. Above, there are three tiers of pigeonholes with shelves. The east side of the gatehouse has a carriage opening to the left and three casements to the right, with a stair light and another casement above. The boundary wall to the west of the gatehouse has chamfered stone coping, while to the east, there are steps leading to a square-headed moulded and chamfered doorway from the 16th century. The garden wall adjoining the house has a similar opening.

Inside, the house features a bay post and span beam, an early 17th-century dogleg winder stair with landings, panelled square newels with ball finials, shaped splat balusters, a matching landing balustrade, and a dog gate. There is also an early 19th-century winder stair. The gatehouse includes a double purlin roof, a fireplace bressumer with a smoke hood, a bread oven, and remains of a brewing copper.
