Description
Beechers is an early 17th-century L-plan cottage located on the north-east side of High Street in Hemingford Abbots. The building is timber-framed, rendered, and features applied mock timber-framing. It has a thatched roof and a central brick stack that is colour-washed. The cottage is one storey high with attics and includes three boxed dormers that have two-light horizontal sliding sashes. On the ground floor, there are similar three-light windows with diamond leaded lights. To the left of the cottage, there is an adjoining weather-boarded barn with a half-hipped roof.
