Description
Beck View and Palm Cottage is a former farmhouse that has been converted into two cottages. The building dates from the 16th and 17th centuries, constructed in three phases, with some alterations made in the 19th century. It features a timber-framed core that is encased in colourwashed brick, topped with a pantiled roof that has glazed black tiles at the front. The structure is two storeys high with an attic and has a three-cell form. There are three mid-20th century casement windows and two mid-20th century doors. An internal stack has its shaft rebuilt in the 19th century.
Beck View has an early 16th century or earlier core that was raised and re-roofed in the late 17th century. It includes heavy unchamfered ground floor joists and evidence of one diamond-mullioned window. Palm Cottage is a 16th century two-cell addition to the earlier range, featuring some heavy framing with cranked corner bracing in each bay and evidence of original windows. The ground floor rooms have chamfered joists, and the roof includes clasped purlins and arched wind-bracing. Inside Beck View, a weathered end of one of the purlins suggests that the upper part of this gable was once an outside wall.
