Description
Beslyns Cottage is a 17th-century granary that has been converted into a cottage. It features a timber frame, plastered walls, and a weatherboarded dado, with a thatched roof. The building is arranged in two bays aligned northeast-southwest and includes a 19th-century internal chimney stack at the southwest end. There is also a 19th-century single-storey extension with a red tiled roof to the northwest, which has a chimney stack at the junction. The cottage is one storey high with attics.
On the southwest elevation, there is one 18th-century wrought iron casement window, one 20th-century metal casement window, and a plain boarded door. The right return elevation (southeast) features two 20th-century metal casements and one semi-circular fixed light with Gothick tracery, along with rectangular leaded lights. The roof is half-hipped at both ends. Inside, the cottage has chamfered axial beams and exposed joists with a vertical section.
