Description

Beeston's Gift Almshouses is a terrace of seven almshouses built in 1834 for the Girdlers' Company. The building is constructed of stucco and features a low-pitched slate roof behind a cornice and parapet, with a raised central section that is inscribed with "Beeston's Gift Alms Houses." It has tall, grouped, hexagonal chimneys. The composition is later enclosed on either side by separate one-storey ranges added in the mid-20th century.

The exterior is two storeys high and consists of twelve bays, with the outer bays gabled and slightly set forward. Tudor-style doors are located beneath oblong panels with ornamental shields, alternating with ground-floor windows in the central ten-bay section. All ground-floor openings and upper windows in the gable ends have square hood moulds. The windows are Tudor-style, with mullioned and transomed four-light designs, and the ground-floor windows in the gable ends are six-light. There is a first-floor sill string in the central section. The interior has not been inspected.
