Beam Ends

Beam Ends is a house located on Main Street in Apethorpe, dating from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone and features a Collyweston slate roof. The building likely started as a single unit plan and has since evolved into a T-shape. It has a single storey with an attic and two storeys.

The elevation facing Main Street consists of a four-window range at the ground floor, featuring 19th-century casement windows set under wooden lintels. There is a large casement window in the gable at the far right, along with a 19th-century casement window under a wooden lintel at the apex of the gable. The centre of the roof has two hipped eaves dormers, each with similar casements. To the right of centre, there is a four-panelled, part-glazed door, also under a wooden lintel. The house has brick stacks at the ridge and at the ends, and an ashlar end stack at the apex of the gable, which retains parts of a moulded cornice. A 19th-century brick extension is located at the rear.

Inside, there is a corner fireplace in the hall and remnants of an open fireplace in the room to the left. The cellar features a partly vaulted stone roof.
