Swan Flats Swan Place The Stores (Beauchamps)

Swan Flats, Swan Place, and The Stores (Beauchamps) is an inn that has been converted into a house and shop. It dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with later additions and alterations from the late 18th century or early 19th century. The building is constructed of painted brick, primarily in Flemish bond, with a chequered pattern of red and grey brick on the left return.

It has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar, featuring a rendered plinth on a deep stone base at the left gable end where the land slopes down. The building has a boarded fascia or plat band and a coved plastered eaves cornice. The roof is hipped on the left side and gabled on the right, with a projecting red and grey brick gable end stack to the left and a rear stack towards the center.

The front facade has four hipped dormers: two on the left of the stack with two-light casements and two on the right with four panes. The regular eight-window front consists of five slightly recessed twelve-pane sash windows and three blind windows. There is a door with six flush panels and a plain architrave located between the second and third windows from the left, leading to Swan Place, and another door with four sunk panels towards the center. The rest of the front features a 20th-century shop front.

To the left, there is a two-storey rear return wing, largely from the late 18th century or early 19th century, made of chequered red and grey brick that partly continues with the gable end of the main range, but has slightly higher eaves and a rear gable. This wing has irregular fenestration with three twelve-pane sash windows. There is also a shorter rear wing at the center, which is weatherboarded, has a plain tile roof, and features two gables. The interior has not been inspected.
