Beal House

Beal House is a late 18th-century brick farmhouse. It is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a 20th-century slate roof. The house has three storeys and three bays. A pair of steps leads to the central entrance, featuring a six-panel door with a three-pane overlight set within a moulded architrave. The ground and first floors have tall sash windows with glazing bars, while the second floor has six-pane sashes. All windows have stone sills and flat brick arches with keystones. A moulded stone cornice runs along the top of the building, and there are end stacks with a hipped roof. The interior is largely original. The hall has diamond-shaped flagstones and a large stick baluster open-well staircase. The front ground and first-floor rooms retain original Neoclassical fireplaces, typically featuring a fluted frieze with a central swag and urn on either side, and a dentilled cornice; one upstairs fireplace has its original grate. There are six-panel doors throughout the house, and one ground-floor door has egg and dart moulding on the inner face.
