Beaumont Rectory

Beaumont Rectory is a house built around 1800, constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and topped with an old grey slate roof. It features a double-pile plan facing east, with two internal stacks symmetrically arranged and one at the rear left. The building has two storeys with attics and a five-window range of original sash windows, each with 12 lights, gauged flat brick arches, painted reveals, and crown glass. In the attic, there are three original sashes set in semi-circular headed dormers. The central entrance consists of a half-glazed door with an overlight that includes marginal lights and panelled reveals, framed by a Greek Doric portico adorned with a triglyph frieze and accessed by four stone steps. Above the first-floor windows, there is a moulded stone cornice, and the building has a plain parapet with stone coping and hipped mansard roofs.

On the left side, there is one original sash window on the ground floor, two on the first floor, and a similar window in the attic. The right side features one blind aperture and one original sash on each floor. The rear elevation includes a three-window range of original sashes, two similar attic windows, and an off-centre six-panel flush door with an overlight, panelled jambs and soffit, a dentilled and moulded flat canopy, and six stone steps with wrought iron handrails, all original. Walls extending from each rear corner of the house reach approximately five metres back, each featuring a semi-circular recessed arch of gauged brick.

Inside, the rectory retains its original three-flight geometrical staircase with scrolled tread ends, a wreathed handrail, and stick balusters, along with original doors, architraves, skirtings, and folding shutters. The estate was acquired by Guy's Hospital around 1760, and the house is believed to have served as a rectory from around 1850 until approximately 1955.
