Description
Nos. 8 and 9 Beauford House is a commercial building that was formerly partly a public house. It dates from the late 19th century to the 20th century. The building is constructed from limestone ashlar with rubble gable ends and has a slate roof. It is a wide and deep double-depth property featuring a central valley gutter, with the left side exposed to a car park area.
The exterior consists of three storeys with three windows on each side, all of which are glazing bar sashes set in plain reveals. The upper windows have a nine-pane design above twelve-pane sashes. On the ground floor to the left, there is the former pub front with four bays, featuring heavy Ruskinian pilasters, a fascia, and a dentil cornice above paired and single lights with a transom. There is also a 19th-century four-panel door and a blocked doorway to the right. The remaining three bays include two twelve-pane sashes and a six-panel door with a shallow four-pane transom light, accessed by two steps. A platband runs above the first floor, and there is an eaves band. The return double-gabled plain end and the rear, which are also in ashlar, contain some plain sash windows.
The interior has not been inspected. The former listing notes that the windows did not have glazing bars, and the right half of the ground floor has been restructured. This building is included for its group value.
