Beeswing Cottage, Lanton

Beeswing Cottage in Lanton is a house built in the earlier to mid-19th century, featuring an earlier outbuilding and later additions and alterations. It is a two-storey, three-bay house with two lower earlier bays to the northeast.

The southeast (front) elevation is constructed of squared and coursed cream and red sandstone with ashlar dressings. The main three-bay house has a decorative gabled timber 'sentry box' porch at the center, flanked by windows and additional windows in the first-floor bays. There are ashlar quoin strips, a band course above the first floor, and eaves. To the right, there are two lower two-storey piend-roofed rubble bays, which include a boarded door to the left, a window to the right, and a window above.

The southwest elevation features a blank rubble gable with an apex stack, while to the left, there is a roughcast two-storey bay from a rear addition that is set back.

On the northwest elevation, the rubble rear of the main house is visible to the right, with a window on the first floor. To the left, there is a two-storey, two-bay dry-dashed addition with a cat-slide roof and two narrow windows on each floor. Additionally, there is a single-storey link with a glazed porch leading to a two-storey, two-bay range that has windows in the upper bays.

The northeast elevation has blank walls with a wallhead stack and an apex stack beyond. It features 12-pane timber sash and case windows, plate glass in the rear addition, and fixed small-pane windows in the earlier bays. The stacks have been rebuilt with brick above the thackstanes, and the roof is covered with grey slates.

The interior was not seen in 1992. The property also includes slender ashlar ball-capped pedestrian gatepiers and a dry-stone wall at the front.
