Beech Cottage

Beech Cottage is an early 17th-century cottage located in Ash Parva, Whitchurch Rural. It features a timber frame with painted wattle and daub and brick infill, topped with a plain tile roof. The framing consists of square panels, with three extending from the sole plate to the wall plate, and it has two framed bays across two storeys. A large external brick stack is positioned at the west end.

On the south front, there is a first-floor two-light wooden casement window that is off-centre to the left, along with a ground-floor two-light wooden casement window also off-centre to the left, and a small one-light window off-centre to the right. The left-hand gable end features a boarded door to the right of the stack, along with an exposed collar and tie-beam truss supported by queen struts. There is a 19th-century lean-to addition next to the stack. Although the interior was not inspected, a chamfered ceiling beam was noted in the left-hand ground-floor room. The right-hand end wall of the cottage only partly survives.
