Description
Beacons Gate is a former keeper's cottage of Sidbury Manor, built in 1655 and later modified in 1894 by Charles Cave. This two-storey building features roughcast exterior and is designed in the Voysey style. It has buttresses at either end of the front and a gable end slate roof with projecting gables and overhanging bracketed eaves that slope down to roughcast chimney stacks. The first floor has two projecting paired gables above long three and four-light wood casements, while the ground floor includes similar two and four-light casements. There is also a rectangular roughcast flat-roofed porch. Beacons Gate is part of a hamlet in Sidbury Parish, located to the northeast of Sidmouth.
