Beechthorpe

Beechthorpe is a house dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of roughcast rubble and has a hipped roof covered in stone slates. The building is two storeys high and has four bays at the front. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars, set within plain stone surrounds, with the exception of the ground-floor window on the right-hand side, which is a fixed window with glazing bars and a modern cement surround. The main entrance door, located between the second and third bays, also has a plain stone surround. A second, now blocked, surround is visible to the left of the second bay. The chimneys are capped with sandstone ashlar and feature cyma cornices. There are three chimneys on the ridge, one above the front wall to the right of the right-hand bay, and another in a similar position on the rear wall. The south-east facing return wall, with three bays, has sash windows with glazing bars and plain stone surrounds on the first floor, and sash windows with similar surrounds but without glazing bars on the ground floor. The central door on this return wall has a plain stone surround with a semi-circular head, a projecting keystone, imposts, and a fanlight with radiating glazing bars.
