Built in 1902 for the Lake House school, a boys preparatory school, renamed Beechmont in 1929, the school like so many was evacuated during World War II never to return.
It is a substantial and imposing Edwardian property with Arts and Crafts architectural influences – gables, dormers, tile-hung and half-timbered upper floor elevations, an octagonal turret, very full-height large stained glass window to the hall and stone-mullioned bay windows.
