Beech Close and attached outbuildings

Beech Close is a country house dating from 1718, with alterations and additions in the early and late 19th century and 1908. It is constructed of brick with plain tile roofs and ashlar dressings. A chamfered rubble plinth, moulded first-floor band, moulded eaves, rusticated quoins, and two coped gables with kneelers are notable features. The house has six bays and is double-depth, forming an L-shaped plan. The majority of the windows are 19th-century glazing bar sashes with keystoned, rubbed brick heads. The main west front has three ashlar steps leading to a keystoned doorcase with a restored timber shell hood and a double, half-glazed door, flanked by three sashes. A two-story canted bay window sits to the right, above which are five sashes and three sashes within the bay window. Dormers with Yorkshire sashes light the attic space. The south elevation incorporates a 20th-century French window and a projecting gable with a two-story, parapeted bow window containing three sashes, flanked by single glazed doors. Above, a mullioned casement and five sashes are visible, along with a corniced panel displaying Arms and inscribed 'F.T.P. 1908’. A glazed door and sash window are found on the return angle to the west. Attached late 19th-century outbuildings are gabled and lean-to, two stories high, with three bays and pantile roofs.

The rear elevation displays a casement with a segmental head and a round-headed stair light with Gothick tracery. The north side features late 19th-century additions with sashes and casements, and a 20th-century flat-roofed porch with timber Doric columns. An 18th-century gable, partly rendered, has a small casement and a datestone inscribed with illegible initials and the date '1718'.

The interior has been altered in the early 19th century and includes a winder stair with square newels and alternate twist and vase-and-stem balusters. A panelled drawing room features a chair rail, cornices and an Adam style moulded timber fireplace. The parlour has a chamfered span beam with run-out stops, an early 19th-century Adam style basket grate with a plain surround and flanked by single fitted cupboards. The dining room contains an early 19th-century pine fireplace with a silver Adam ornament. Numerous small 19th-century hob grates are present along with several 18th-century plank and fielded panel doors.
