Description
Beechburn Grange is a house dating from the 18th century, with early 19th-century alterations and a large extension from the late 19th century. It features white-painted render with painted ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof, which has stone gable copings and yellow brick chimneys. The rear wing has a pantiled roof with two rows of stone slates at the eaves. The building is arranged in an L-plan and consists of two storeys with two sections of three and two bays.
The earlier three-bay section on the right has a central half-glazed door with a patterned overlight beneath a bracketed hood. It is flanked by canted bay windows that have late 19th-century sash windows and hipped roofs. The first floor features a central window with mullions and transoms, along with flanking tripartite sashes in raised stone surrounds that include small false keystones. The higher two-bay section on the left has similar canted bays on the ground floor and tripartite sashes on the first floor. All three gables are adorned with curved stone kneelers and panelled ridge chimneys.
Inside, the L-plan staircase has a lower flight that projects into the hall, featuring a ramped moulded handrail on stick balusters. The interior also includes six-panelled doors and some window shutters.
