Description
Beacon House is an 18th-century building, potentially with an earlier core. It is constructed of red brick and has a hipped tiled roof. The front features three sash windows, although their glazing bars are now missing. Two modern extensions have been added to the ground floor, and a doorcase with pilasters, a pediment, and a small rectangular fanlight sits between them. A chimney breast is visible on the east wall. Modern additions are located behind the original structure.
Local climate
Beacon House sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 52% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
