Description
Beech Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse located on Barnston Road in Wirral. The building is constructed of red brick, which has been painted and partly covered with stucco, and features a Welsh slate roof. It stands three storeys tall and has two bays, with a two-storey, two-bay wing on the left and a one-storey, one-bay addition beyond.
The main house has ruled stucco on its façade and includes a porch added to the left of the centre, which encloses an old five-panel door. Flanking the door are 16-pane sash windows that have projecting sills and cambered-arched heads. On the first floor, there are unequally-hung 16-pane sashes with projecting sills, while the second floor features 8-pane sashes, also with projecting sills. The ends of the house have rendered brick stacks.
The side wing, which is set back on the left, has a large 16-pane sash window on the left side of a round-headed sash with glazing bars. The first floor of this wing has two unequally-hung 9-pane sashes and a tall rendered end stack on the left. The one-storey part to the left has an ashlar lower wall and a 20th-century casement window beneath a segmental brick arch.
Inside, the farmhouse features a dog-leg staircase at the rear of the main house, which has square newels and a boxed-in balustrade.
