Description

Beaconsfield House is a house over a shop, featuring a mid-19th century facade that is built on an earlier core, possibly from the 17th century. The building has a painted rendered facade and a brick rear wing, with roofs made of plain tiles and interlocking tiles. It has a projecting gable-end stack and integral eaves stacks at the rear, with a front range that includes a gabled rear wing.

The exterior consists of three storeys and a cellar, with a four-window range. The windows are 2/2 sashes with raised plain architraves and corniced heads that have console brackets on the first floor. The second floor features moulded architraves and bracketed sills, while the ground floor has raised keyed and stepped lintels. The entrance doorway is located to the right, set under a round arch between Tuscan pilasters, and features a four-panelled door with a fanlight. The facade includes moulded string courses, a plinth, and a channelled rusticated ground floor. The parapet has a modillioned eaves cornice with enriched kneelers.

At the rear gable, there is a stepped brick stack flanked by restored 6/6 sashes, a 20th-century casement at the attic level, and an 8/8 sash at the ground level, which is partially covered by a projecting single-storey wing. On the west side, there is an 8/8 sash and a tiled gabled dormer with a two-light casement.

Inside, there is a reset 18th-century oak dog-leg stair with a toad-back handrail and two carved brackets on each carved open tread.
