Beauforest House

Beauforest House is a rectory, later adapted for residential use, dating back to around 1500, with significant alterations in the late 18th century and around 1800. The house is constructed of limestone ashlar and clunch rubble, with some rendered areas, and has old plain-tile roofs and brick stacks. It is arranged in an L-plan.

The symmetrical front facade, five windows wide, is built of ashlar and features a storey band, cornice, and parapet. A central doorway is emphasised by pilasters and a triangular pediment, incorporating a delicate fanlight. The windows are 12-pane sashes with much original glass. The roof is hipped. A bowed projection to the right side features three sashes on each floor, the lower windows being 5 panes wide.

A coursed clunch bay at the rear has tripartite sashes, and a flat arch bears the inscription "C.M. CLOZIER 1774". A lower range at the rear is partly constructed of rubble with brick dressings, and partly of early 20th-century brick, likely replacing earlier timber framing. There is a wooden bellcote on the roof. A subsidiary range extends to the right, and a timber-framed range formerly extended to the left.

Inside, the main rooms contain delicate plaster cornices and early 19th-century fireplaces. The central stair hall features an open-well staircase with a ramped handrail. The ground floor of the earlier rear range retains intersecting moulded beams of triangular section, along with broad stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, likely dating from around 1500.
