Description
Beaconsfield Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1820, with possible earlier elements incorporated into its structure. The front is constructed of maristone ashlar, while the rear and side ranges are of coursed limestone rubble with marlstone-ashlar dressings. The roof is covered with artificial stone slates and features limestone-ashlar stacks. The building comprises two parallel ranges. The front facade, of ashlar, has six bays arranged irregularly, with a six-panel front door positioned slightly right of centre. It also features wide 20-pane sashes. A stone cornice runs along the projecting bay and forms a pediment containing a round-arched attic window. The roof has gable parapets topped with stacks, and a central ridge stack in line with the entrance. The end walls and rear range are constructed of rubble, and the rear elevation contains leaded, segmental-arched casements, including a three-light window with transoms. The interior remains uninspected. Beaconsfield Farm stands on the site of a Roman villa, as documented in Victoria County History: Oxfordshire, Volume XI, page 227.
