Description
Beak House is a detached house from the mid-19th century, constructed of dressed limestone with a Welsh slate roof and a stone stack. It features a gable end facing the road and is two stories high with one window. The entrance includes a six-panelled door set within a 20th-century lean-to porch, and above the door is a recessed quatrefoiled lozenge. To the right, there is a short two-storey range that has a 12-pane sash window on the first floor of its right return. The range on the left projects and contains 15-pane sashes on both the ground and first floors, which have Tudor-arched panes and plat bands. The rear of the house also has sash windows. Additionally, there is a single-storey 20th-century extension attached to the left side of the building.
