Beaumont Cote Manor

En un regard

Le château en bref

Beaumont Cote is an old house on Strellas Lane, in the civil parish of Slyne-with-Hest, north of Lancaster, Lancashire. It lies in the coastal countryside bordering Morecambe Bay, not far from the Lancaster Canal, in an area that in the Middle Ages was partly worked by the monks of Furness Abbey. The present building, now divided into two dwellings (Beaumont Cote and Beaumont Cote Manor), combines two periods: a 17th-century east wing, recognisable by its chamfered mullion-and-transom windows, and a main range remodelled in the late 18th century, whose south garden front adopts a regular five-bay Georgian arrangement. The interest of the site lies in this clearly legible layering of a 17th-century rural house and a later classical facade, as well as in a small group of protected features: gate piers and the base of a garden sundial, which are also listed. It is a private property that is not open to visitors.
