Beeson Farmhouse

Beeson Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from circa 1830, with datestones indicating 1805 and 1831, and a small later 19th-century extension. It is constructed of slate rubble, with red brick window arches. The left-hand (southwest) side is rendered. The roof is slate, with gabled ends, and gable end stacks featuring short red brick shafts; the stack on the right has slate cowels. The original plan includes two main front rooms, a central entrance hall with a likely staircase at the rear, and two service rooms at the back, one of which was likely the kitchen with a large lateral stack, and the other, a pantry. A cellar is located beneath the front of the building. A later 19th-century workhouse was added to the rear right corner.

The symmetrical south east front has two storeys and a cellar. It features 19th-century 16-pane sashes with red brick flat arches and slate sills; the first-floor sash on the right is a replacement. The central doorway has a 19th-century panelled and glazed door, and an open porch with Tuscan columns and a hipped slate canopy. The right-hand end of the front has a 19th-century 12-pane sash, a later two-light sash, and 20th-century plastic windows above. The rear elevation reveals a large lateral stack with set-offs and fell stone rubble shaft with slate weathering and a yellow clay louvered pot. To the right of the stack is a 20th-century stair window. The interior was not inspected. A stone in the front wall, under the first-floor left-hand window, is inscribed "1805, 1831 (SS?)"; the latter date is considered most likely, with "SS" presumed to be initials.
