Beck House

Beck House is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the 18th century, with later additions on the left and a 17th-century rear wing. The building is constructed of brick and covered with black glazed pantiles. It features five bays, is two storeys high with an attic, and has a shaped gable. The brickwork includes Flemish garden wall bond and coloured headers on the first floor, along with a moulded cap to the plinth, a moulded platband, and a dentil cornice. The central door is recessed and has six panels, four of which are glazed. The windows date from around 1900 and have contemporary twisted brass handles, with four cross windows on the first and ground floors, a single light with a transom above the door, and two gabled roof dormers with two-light casements. There are end internal stacks.

To the left, there is a two-bay, two-storey addition, with the first floor raised or rebuilt in the 20th century. This addition has a door on the right and a four-light casement on the left, along with a very large gable end external stack. The right gable features a flint base with a brick plinth topped with a moulded brick cap, stretcher bond on the ground floor, and Flemish garden wall bond above, with platbands at the first and attic floors and a small attic window.

At the rear, there is a two-storey 17th-century wing made of coursed flint behind bays three and four, with thin brick dressings and blocked windows on the south return first floor and west gable. There is also a two-storey brick extension to the left behind the fifth bay, which has a ground floor angle curved in header bond, and a single-storey lean-to extension to the right against the front range.

Inside, there is a two-light square mullioned window at the rear of the fifth bay, which is now internal. The main staircase is located behind the fourth and fifth bays and may have been repositioned; it features a dog leg design, closed string with turned balusters on the treads, and a ramped handrail. There is also a staircase to the attic behind the stack in the first bay, and panelling from around 1900 in the right ground floor room. The rear wing has a butt purlin roof.
