Beaufort House

Beaufort House, originally shown as The Rectory on the Ordnance Survey map, is a rectory that has been converted into a house. It was built around 1832 to 1853 by James Richardson of Stamford and was extended in the mid to late 19th century. The building is constructed of squared coursed limestone with ashlar dressings and features a Collyweston slate roof. It has a double depth plan and stands two storeys tall. The main front has a five-window range with a central five-panel door. The door is framed by a moulded wood doorcase with roundels at the corners and an open pediment above. There is a rectangular fanlight with glazing bars above the door. The windows are unhorned sashes with glazing bars, which reduce in size on the first floor. The building includes ashlar dressings and stone lintels with keyblocks, as well as ashlar quoins. The roof is hipped and has two ashlar stacks at the centre. To the left, there is a mid to late 19th-century one-bay extension that matches the original style. Although the interior has not been inspected, it is reported to retain early 19th-century fittings and a staircase with a stick balustrade.
