Description
Beech Grove Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1820. It features rendered stone, a Welsh slate roof, and rebuilt brick chimney stacks. The building is two stories high with a five-bay front and a plinth. There is a central porch that has a cornice, a blocking course, and round arches on both the front and sides. The porch contains a partly-glazed door set within an architrave. The windows, which have projecting sills, are mainly 12-pane sashes, although some have been replaced, and there are also replaced casements and two blocked windows on the first floor. The low-pitched hipped roof has two stacks that rise through the rear span. At the back, there is a central two-story gabled stair wing, flanked by narrow outshuts with pent roofs. The stair wing features a panelled door in an architrave, a large 20-pane round-arched window, and an open-pedimented gable.
Inside, the farmhouse has six-panel doors in architraves with panelled reveals, three-panel internal window shutters, and an open-well, cut-string staircase with stick balusters and a ramped handrail.
