Description

This is an 18th-century building located on Wellington Road. It is a two-story structure with three windows. The building is constructed of painted brick and appears to have been built in two sections, distinguished by differing roof levels, with the lower roof level present on the eastern side. The roof is covered with red tiles. There are three-light casement windows, with the windows in the eastern section being noticeably smaller. Wooden shutters are fitted to the ground-floor windows. A fire insurance company mark is visible on the westernmost section of the building. It is thought that the building may have originally been two cottages.

The Beacon receives an average of 910 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 69% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 94% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 7 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 96% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
