Description
Beeslack House Lodge is a single-storey Gothic lodge built around 1855 by Jonathan Anderson Bell, featuring later additions. The structure is made of sandstone and ashlar.
On the southwest elevation, there is an enclosed lean-to porch in the re-entrant angle with a gothic boarded door that is studded. The central projecting gable has fret work bargeboards and a decorative finial, with two chimney stacks on either side. The eaves have cast-iron guttering, with a downpipe located to the left of the porch. A projecting stone bay window features four lancet lights.
The southeast elevation displays a gable end with plain bargeboards and a bipartite window in the center. To the right is a blind wall of a later lean-to addition.
On the northeast elevation, there is a central gable with plain bargeboards and a decorative finial. It has a metal gutter and flashing, with a downpipe to the left of the window. A bipartite window with a stone mullion and sloping cill is present, along with a lean-to to the left that has a bipartite window with a chamfered stone mullion.
The northwest elevation features a gable end with open fretted bargeboards, although there is damage to the bottom left. It has a decorative finial and a projecting stone bay window with four lancet lights. A later extension is hidden to the left.
The original glazing has been lost, but the bottom timber sash and case remain. The roof is pitched and covered with slate, featuring lead ridging and flashing.
The interior was not seen in 2000 and is currently used as a store.
