Description
Beech Lawn is a house dating from the mid-18th century, located on Higher Lux Street in Liskeard. The building features rubble walls with timber lintels and has steep Delabole slate roofs, which include a modillioned cornice at the front of the main roof. At the rear, there is an integral outshut, and the house has a tall brick stack on the left side and a rendered stack on the right. It has a double-depth plan with a single-depth service range on the left side.
The house is two storeys high and has an overall seven-window range. The main front has five windows on the right, which was symmetrical until the 1880s when a canted four-light bay window replaced two windows to the right of the central doorway. This doorway features engaged twisted rope enriched columns, a fascia, and a moulded hood, along with deep panelled reveals and a panelled door with glazed top panels. The one-window service wing on the left has a weathered buttress on its left side and a one-window lean-to at the far left. The interior has not been inspected but is said to be of interest.
