Description

Beaver House, located at 79 West Street, is a late 19th-century building featuring three storeys and two bays. It has a hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves supported by paired brackets and alternating panelling. The front is made of red brick, with a band below the sill level on the first floor, while the ground floor is stuccoed with a projecting plinth. The corners have rendered quoins. The building has segmental-headed sash windows set in reveals, with moulded eared archivolts and keystones; the glazing bars are intact only in the second-floor windows. On the ground floor, there is a three-light sash window on the left and a segmental-headed doorway on the right, which features a moulded segmental architrave, a keystone, and a moulded cornice. The plain segmental fanlight leads to a panelled door.

Along the north-east return wall, there is a 19th-century extension with a slate gabled roof, also two storeys and two bays, featuring windows with wide reveals and run-out brick voussoirs. The front of this extension is made of red brick, which has been partly refaced. Beaver House is part of a group that includes Nos 75 to 94, along with Nos 86A and 88A.
