Description
Beechwood House and the Friends' Meeting House, dating from around 1840, form a symmetrical pair of houses. Number 8 is now used as an office and meeting house. The buildings are constructed of stucco with a hipped roof covered in fish-scale slate, featuring stucco stacks. They are two storeys high, with a six-window front, and the ends project forward. A sill course runs along the first floor, and the eaves are wide. The windows are 12-pane horned sashes, except at the ends where there are canted bay windows with three sashes, cornices, and blocking courses. The buildings have five stacks topped with flat caps. The left return has a recessed central entrance with a porch featuring angle pilasters, a panelled frieze, and a consoled cornice with strapwork cresting. The right return has a similar arrangement, with a canted bay window to the rear wing. The interior was not inspected.
