Description

Beacon View, The Cottage, and Horner Tea Garden is a farmhouse and cottage that has been converted into a row of cottages and a tea house. It dates from the 17th century and was enlarged and reroofed in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed from red sandstone random rubble, with a rendered center section of four bays. It features triple Roman tiled roofs of varying pitches and has a large external stone stack at the right gable end, a lateral stack between the entrance to Beacon View and The Cottage, and another stone stack at the left gable end, situated between the second and third bays on the left.

The structure likely began as a three-cell and cross passage farmhouse, with a two-cell and cross passage cottage added to the west end. It is one and a half stories tall and has eight bays. The 19th-century windows include many-paned wood and metal casements, with two and three-light designs. The left side has three dormers that rise from below the eaves, while the center three dormers break through the eaves. A window to the right of the lateral stack is set below the eaves, and the end bay has a window that also rises from below the eaves. On the ground floor, there are segmental-headed windows flanking the entrance, with two windows to the left of the inserted entrance. To the right of the stack, there is a slate-roofed pentice porch built on random rubble walls, leading to a half-glazed door that opens to the original cross passage. The end bay window has a wooden lintel.

The interior of the tea rooms was observed, featuring a steeply chamfered beam with steps and run-out stops, along with a framed partition leading to the cross passage. The building forms a picturesque group and was formerly known as Floyds Tea Garden.
