Description
Beach Court and Church House, formerly known as The Vicarage, is a stone house built around 1840 in the Tudor style. It features coursed stone with granite dressings and slate gabled roofs. The building is two storeys high and has three bays, with gabled ends on the left and right. The central entrance is slightly advanced and includes an embattled parapet, an octagonal turret to one side, and an angle buttress on the other. The doorway has a moulded four-centred arch, carved spandrels, and a quatrefoiled panel above. Drip moulds are present over the two-light stone mullion windows, which have cusped heads.
There is a diagonally set chimney stack over the left-hand gable and an octagonal stack at the left-hand corner. The right-hand gable features finials, and there is a gabled window set back on that side. The northeast garden front has three bays, with an advanced gabled centre flanked by chimney stacks.
