Beech Grove

Beech Grove is a house dating from the mid-19th century, located on Cowick Road in Snaith and Cowick. The building is constructed of brick that has been rendered and incised to resemble ashlar, with ashlar dressings. It has a double-depth plan featuring a two-room central entrance hall at the south front, with a stair hall at the rear. The house is two storeys high and has three symmetrical bays, with a plinth at the base.

The entrance features a Tuscan porch supported by columns, which holds a plain entablature and hood. Beneath this, there is a panelled door topped by a moulded cornice and a plain overlight set in a panelled reveal. The windows are 12-pane sashes with margin lights, and they have channelled cambered wedge lintels with raised fluted keys, along with sills and a sill band. The eaves are bracketed, and the roof is a double-span hipped design. The end stacks are corniced and feature both octagonal and square pots.

Inside, there is an open well staircase with a ramped handrail and turned balusters. The lower and upper halls have round-arched openings with archivolts and scrolled brackets. The main rooms include marble chimney pieces, moulded cornices, and panelled doors set in architraves.
