Description

Beckington Manor is a house dating from the 17th century, which was restored in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of random rubble with dressed flush quoins and features three coped gables topped with carved stone finials. The roof is covered with stone tiles and has an end ashlar ridge stack that is moulded around the cap and base, with the right stack projecting on the return wall. The building has a "U"-plan layout and consists of two storeys and attics, with four bays that include three, four, and five-light moulded stone mullioned windows, each with a stopped label. There are also similar two-light openings in the gables. A central gabled porch from the 19th century has paired three-quarter glazed doors, and above it is a lancet niche with a trefoil head.

Attached to the manor is a garden wall that is approximately three metres high and runs seven metres to the right of the frontage. It has stone slate capping and a segmental headed door opening with a studded plank door. There is a further short section of the wall at right angles that ends in a pier with a plain cap and a ball finial, alongside an identical adjacent pier.
