Description

Beech Tree House is a house that was later used as a school, built in the late 18th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a hipped plain tile roof. The building has two storeys and an attic above a basement, with a dentil brick eaves cornice and integral brick end stacks. There are two hipped dormers that contain three-light wooden casements with tile-hung sides. The house has three bays with plate-glass sash windows, which are tripartite in the outer bays, and they have painted stone cills and painted stone lintels with keystones.

The central doorway is adorned with a six-panelled door, where the lower two panels are beaded flush, and it features a wreathed fanlight. The Doric doorcase includes unfluted pilasters that support sections of an entablature and an open triangular pediment. To the right, there is a low two-storey wing from the 19th century, set back from the main structure, which has a brick ridge stack on the left. This wing contains plate-glass tripartite sash windows with stone cills and keyed stone lintels.

At the rear of the main block, there are three bays with segmental-headed glazing bar sashes, with the first-floor windows and the left ground-floor window featuring margin lights. Inside, there is a late 18th-century oak staircase with an open string, cut brackets, stick balusters (two per tread), a moulded handrail, and a square foot newel. The left-hand ground-floor room has an arched recess flanking the fireplace.
