Description
Beachley House is an early 19th-century farmhouse, now serving as an Officers' Mess for the Army Apprentices' College. It has a low-pitched, hipped roof covered in Welsh slate, with deep eaves. The building is rendered and consists of an upright square block with a large blank space above the first-floor windows. It rises to two and a half storeys, and incorporates a partial basement. The main façade has three windows, with two 20th-century “eyebrow” dormers positioned above the first-floor sashes. The ground floor also features 12-pane sashes, with narrow margin bars. Two bays flanking the centre project slightly and contain a central 4-panel door within a double pilaster portico, topped with an entablature and fanlight. The right-hand return wall mirrors this “stepped” composition on the plan. Inside, the interior includes a contemporary dog-leg staircase with stick balusters, and original panelled doors. It is an unusual composition, resembling a Rectory rather than a typical farmhouse.
