Details
BEAFORD CHURCH STREET, Beaford SS 5515 20/43 Sunny-View - GV II
Smithy, now cottage. C18, altered in the early to mid C20. Rendered cob, on rendered plinth. Thatched roof, gable-ended to left and hipped to right. Brick stacks. Plan and development: Two-room central-entrance plan with pair of lateral stacks to rear. Corner site, ground falls to right. Formerly a blacksmiths shop with only doorway and left-hand ground-floor window to front. Further windows inserted when the building was turned into a cottage, probably between the First and Second World Wars. The smithy probably already had a first floor, if only in a part of it. The right-hand stack is probably original and the left-hand stack is probably an insertion. Two-storeys. Exterior: Asymmetrical fenestration. Four windows to first floor and 2 to ground floor; mostly early C20 three-light wooden casements. Doorway off-centre to left with C20 six-panelled door and late C20 glazed gabled porch. Ground-floor early C20 three-light wooden casement in right-hand return front. Interior not inspected. An old photograph shows the building before conversion (Beaford Archive).
