North Beacon And South Beacon

North Beacon and South Beacon are two cottages, likely built in the 18th century, with later 19th-century and a circa 1984 extension. They are constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, with plastered rubble and concrete blockwork extensions. The cottages feature a rubble stack topped with 19th-century brick and a thatched roof, with slate on the extensions.

Originally, these were a pair of semi-detached cottages with a one-room plan, facing southwest. They share a front lobby entrance and have a stack in the party wall that serves back-to-back fireplaces. North Beacon is on the left (northwest) and has a late 19th-century store adjoining its left end, while South Beacon is on the right and has a circa 1984 extension.

The cottages are two stories high, with what was once a symmetrical four-window front featuring late 19th-century to early 20th-century casements with glazing bars. There is a central doorway, which is an unusual 19th-century door with three upright panels and a fourth glazed panel across the top, likely part of a late 19th-century gabled and slate-roofed porch. The door is now exclusive to North Beacon, while a new doorway was added to the outer side of South Beacon around 1984, and another ground floor window was replaced. The main roof is half-hipped on each side.

The single-storey extension to North Beacon includes a 20th-century iron-framed window and a Victorian post box. South Beacon features a two-storey extension built around 1984 with two windows. Inside, both original rooms have rubble fireplaces with plain oak lintels and brick ovens at the rear. The roofs were not inspected.
