Description
Beaumont House is a country house located on Beaumont Road in Plymouth. It was built in the 18th century and underwent remodelling and extensions in the early 19th century and late 20th century. The exterior features stucco with stucco detailing and dry slate roofs. The original house has a steep roof with rendered end stacks, while the other roofs are hipped and set behind parapets. There are five roof dormers with hornless sashes and glazing bars.
The overall plan of the house is H-shaped, with the original double-depth house at the center and an early 19th-century cross wing on the right, alongside a 20th-century pastiche cross wing on the left. The building has three storeys plus attics, along with two two-storey-plus-attic wings. The main facade has a symmetrical arrangement with five windows, featuring a mid-floor string course above the ground floor and moulded architraves around the hornless sashes with glazing bars. A central distyle Tuscan porch leads to a doorway with an overlight and a pair of panelled doors. The flanking wings are divided by quoin strips and have similar sashes set within moulded architraves and sills on brackets.
At the rear, the original house retains original or early 19th-century sashes with glazing bars and two original Venetian windows. The right-hand return has a symmetrical five-window front with a central enclosed porch that features panelled pilasters and a dentilled cornice, along with a round-arched doorway and fanlight. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
