Description
Beacon Lodge is a house built around 1800 and extended in the mid-19th century. It features red and blue chamfered brick with tile-hung return elevations, and the extensions are also in red and blue brick. The roof is plain tiled. The main block is two storeys high, set on a plinth, and has a plain band and a brick dentil eaves cornice beneath a hipped roof, with stacks at both ends. The windows are regularly arranged, with three glazing bar sashes and louvred shutters on the first floor, and two on the ground floor. The entrance has a central half-glazed door with a semi-circular fanlight in a gauged brick surround. To the right is a taller two-storey hipped extension, which has a cornice and a stack at the end. The first floor features segmentally-headed glazing bar sashes, while the ground floor has multi-paned shallow projecting windows.
