Beauchamp House

Beauchamp House is a former rectory, now a private house, built in 1892 by C.E. Ponting and funded by H. Chapman of Donhead House. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick with limestone dressings and features a tiled hipped roof with brick stacks topped with stone cappings. The building is two stories high and has a five-window entrance front.

The entrance includes a gabled porch with a round-arched opening and a coped verge with kneelers. To the right, there is a four-light mullioned and transomed window, while the left side has single and two-light mullioned casements. The first floor features a string course, two two-light and one three-light mullioned casements, along with a single chamfered light and a gabled projection to the left that has five-light mullioned casements. A segmental-headed dormer is present in the attic.

The right side of the house has a two-storey polygonal bay with mullioned and transomed casements on the left and a three-light mullioned and transomed casement on the right, with a two-light window on the first floor and a segmental-headed attic dormer. The rear of the house has a half-glazed door with a large stone shell hood, a large square bay to the left, and various mullioned casements, including a prominent six-light mullioned and transomed casement that lights the stairs. There are also three gabled dormers with three-light mullioned casements. The property features cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, the house retains its original joinery, including four-panelled doors in moulded architraves, eared architraves on the ground floor, and an impressive staircase with splat balusters and square newels. Beauchamp House occupies a prominent position overlooking the Nadder Valley and ceased to function as a rectory in the 1950s.
