Description
Betchworth House is an attached house dating from the early 19th century. It features walls made of lias stone ashlar and has a slate roof with gable ends and boxed-in eaves. There are 19th-century brick stacks at both the left and right gables. The house is two storeys high and has three windows, which are two-light wooden casements with glazing bars, and stone voussoirs above the windows. The upper centre window is blocked. The front door, located at the centre, is a 20th-century wooden door with glass panes throughout. To the right, there is a 19th-century lias stone extension that is also two storeys high, consisting of one bay under a hipped slate roof, featuring the same type of windows as the main house.
