Description
No. 5 Beacon Street is a house dating from around 1820. It is built of brick with ashlar dressings and features a parapeted hipped roof. The building has an L-plan layout with a large 20th-century rear wing. It stands three storeys tall and has an almost symmetrical five-window arrangement. There is a platt band above the ground floor and a top cornice with a parapet.
The entrance is segmental-headed and set within an architrave that has a consoled cornice. Above the six-fielded-panelled door is a fanlight with radial glazing bars. The windows have sills and are topped with rubbed brick flat arches over 12-pane sashes. On the ground floor, there are two windows to the left with horned sashes, while the canted bay window to the right features an ashlar sill, an entablature, and shaped lintels above plate glass sashes. The second floor has six-pane sashes. To the right end of the building, there is a short stone-coped wall that includes a segmental-headed entrance with a door. The left return of the house has a two-window range.
