Description
Beacon Hill Farm Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century. It is timber-framed, pebble dashed, and partly faced in red brick from the late 18th or early 19th century. The roof is primarily covered in peg tiles, although the rear has 20th-century tiles. The cottage has one and a half storeys and features a three-window range with segment-headed 19th-century casements. There are three gabled dormers with restored shaped bargeboards and a central octagonal stack that is rendered, along with a smaller red brick stack to the west. Inside, the fireplace has been rebuilt within an older surround, and the original roof includes windbraces and principal binding joists. The rear of the cottage has two 20th-century dormers and a conservatory. Beacon Hill Farm Cottage is part of a group with Beacon Hill Farmhouse.
