Beechwood The Beeches

The Beeches is a house, now divided into two homes, built around 1831 and extended in 1878 by Temple Moore for the Reverend Horace Newton. The building is constructed of brick and features shallow hipped slate roofs alongside steeply pitched plain tile roofs. It is two storeys high, with an attic in the later addition.

The north-east front has a central door set in a rusticated brick surround with a large overlight, flanked by single canted bay windows that have flat roofs and glazing bar sash windows. Above this, there are three 12-pane glazing bar sashes. To the left, there is a single-storey addition with an ornate brick facade. To the right, a projecting wing added in 1878 features painted stucco cornices and tall brick stacks, with red brick detailing, including a single 5-light mullion and transom window, a tall 3-light window below, and a 3-light casement in the ornate tumbled brick gable.

The north-west front, built in 1878, showcases five tall 2-light windows with mullions and transoms, above which are three canted oriel windows with glazing bar casements, and three canted dormer windows topped with gables. The south-west front has a recessed centre with a projecting square porch that includes double doors and sidelights, supporting a large canted bay window above. Flanking this are single-storey additions with large glazing bar windows, and above them are two cross casements and a single small glazing bar sash. To the left, a projecting wing added in 1878 features a two-storey canted brick bay window with five cross casements on each floor, while the attic has a single set-back canted bay window with three-light casements. To the right, there is a projecting single-storey wing with two tall cross casement windows and a steeply pitched plain tile roof.
