Description

Beech Cottage is an 18th-century cottage with a late 19th-century rear outshut. It is constructed of squared stone and features tooled stone stacks, topped with a Scottish slate roof. The cottage is single-storey and has four bays. There is a 20th-century glazed door, two renewed 16-pane sash windows on the left, and one on the right. The roof is steeply pitched and has stepped-and-banded stacks at both ends and along the ridge. Each return of the building also has a similar window.
