Description
Beechfield is a house built around 1830, attributed to Websters of Kendal. It features punched limestone ashlar and a hipped slate roof. The west front is symmetrical, consisting of two storeys with an attic and three bays. The windows are sashed with glazing bars and have plain ashlar surrounds, along with a sill band on the first floor. There is a central gabled attic dormer. The entrance has a portico supported by two Tuscan columns and two Antae, featuring a plain frieze, a square-sectioned cornice, and a blocking course. There are chimneys on the ridge at each side of the central bay. To the left, there is a lower extension from the late 19th century that has two bays.
