Beaconsfield Terrace

Beaconsfield Terrace is a terrace of six cottages built around 1800, with some later alterations. The cottages are constructed of red brick and topped with a slate roof, featuring a deep plan and two storeys. The eaves cornice is partly dentilled and partly toothed. The original window arrangement includes 16-paned glazing bar sashes with gauged heads and stone cills, positioned to the left and right of central paired entrances for each pair of cottages. The third cottage from the left has had its original windows replaced with late 20th-century top-hung casements as of the last survey in July 1985. Each cottage has a plain pedimented wooden doorcase, except for the third from the left, which lacks a doorcase and has a late 20th-century half-glazed door. Only the right-hand pair of cottages retains the original six-panel doors. There are two prominent red brick chimney stacks on the front roof slope, with similar stacks behind and integral stacks at each gable end, also positioned in front of the ridge. Beaconsfield Terrace forms a notable roadside group with Morda Mill and the nearby buildings of Morda House, which is now largely demolished but is listed under Morda Hall and the Nightingale Wing of the former Morda Hospital.
