Beck House

Beck House is a house dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with a two-storey extension added to the left in the early 19th century. The building has one storey with attics, while the extension has two storeys. It is timber-framed and rendered, featuring a pantiled roof with gable and axial chimneys made of gault and red brick. The house has gabled casement dormers with carved bargeboards and 19th-century sash windows, some of which have small panes and hinged louvred shutters. The entrance door, which dates from the early 19th century, is a six-panelled design with an entablature and fluted pilasters. Originally, the house was designed in a three-cell lobby-entrance style, but in the 19th century, the parlour cell was replaced by a two-window wide extension. Inside, there are several rib-moulded mullions in a partition and soot-blackened rafters in the roof, both of which were reused from a 15th-century or early 16th-century house.
