Beck House

Beck House is a house dating back to the mid-18th century, with additions from the 1840s and later 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of rendered stone with painted dressings, and has a slate roof. The house has an L-shaped layout, arranged around a central staircase.

The front, overlooking the garden, is two storeys high and three bays wide. The central entrance is distinguished by a mid-18th-century roll-moulded surround with a basket-arched lintel and cornice. One jamb is scratched with the initials TA and the date 1761, and the entrance now has a 20th-century door. The ground floor and upper floor each have three windows, with plain surrounds and projecting sills. The central upper-floor window is narrower than the others. These windows are sash windows without glazing bars. Chamfered quoins mark the corners of the building. The gable ends have ridge stacks, with the one on the right-hand gable projecting outwards. Around the gables are 1840s wooden spike finials.

At the rear of the house an 18th-century stair window with two lights and flat-faced mullions, two transoms, is visible. A round-headed stair window with a chamfered surround is set into the gable end of a projecting rear wing.

Inside, a 19th-century dog-leg staircase has a reset mid-18th-century balustrade, consisting of a closed string, turned balusters, and a grip handrail.
