Beech Lawn House Including Orangery To Rear

Beech Lawn House, which includes an orangery at the rear, is a house dated 1820, with the orangery added in the later 19th century and a rear extension from around 1935. The house is constructed of gault brick and features a slate roof with pedimented gable ends and brick end stacks.

The exterior has a three-storey, three-window front. A central porch supported by fluted Greek Doric columns features an entablature that creates a balcony on the first floor, complete with wrought iron railings. The entrance has a six-panel double-leaf door. On either side of the porch, there are unhorned sash windows with six panes over six panes, set under gauged skewback arches. The first floor has three similar sash windows, with the central one being taller to provide access to the balcony. The second floor contains three unhorned sash windows with three panes over three panes, also under gauged skewback arches.

At the rear, there is a four-window range with a single-storey, two-window flat-roofed extension to the right. To the left, a two-storey wing projects at right angles, with a single-storey service room and the orangery attached. The upper floor windows of the main house are of the same type as those at the front. The orangery features sliding sashes with glazing bars beneath a lap-glazed roof.

Inside, the main rooms have mid-19th century marble chimneypieces. The kitchen is equipped with an Imperial Crown kitchen range. The staircase has chamfered stick balusters and a ramped handrail. There is a mid-19th century toilet on the first floor with a continuous-flow cistern in the room above. The attic contains a re-used early 18th century door on H-hinges, and some 19th century gas lamps remain on the upper floors.
