Description
Beech House is a house dated 1847, located on Parkgate Road in Neston. The building features coloured roughcast exterior walls and gabled slate roofs with timber bargeboards and rendered ridge stacks.
The house is two stories high with a three-window right-angled entrance front. There is a single-storey flat-roofed part-glazed porch added across the angle of the building. The front door is fully glazed, and there are windows on each side with two lights and small panes. Above the porch, there is a two-light window with small-pane Gothick glazing, while the windows on each side are two-over-two sash windows, all with label-stopped hoodmoulds. On the ground floor, there are single-storey canted bay windows with sashes that do not have glazing bars and full-length fixed lights. In the east return, there are a pair of sash doors. The first-floor windows are recessed sashes with centre and margin glazing bars, stone sills, and labels. A small tablet on the fascia over the porch is inscribed with "C.M." and dated 1847.
Inside, the house features a geometrical staircase with a curtail step, a wreathed continuous handrail, and cut and bracketed strings. There are six-panel doors and an egg and dart cornice in the entrance hall.
