Description
Beech House is a farmhouse that has two distinct building periods. The main structure is an early 17th century timber-framed and plastered range with gables facing the street, while a later 17th century red brick wing with a hipped roof extends to the east. All roofs are covered with plain tiles. The building is two storeys high and features an end stack to the east, a ridge stack, and a side stack to the west.
On the first floor, there are three hung sash windows with glazing bars, and two canted bays with flat roofs and hung sash windows with glazing bars flank a central six-panelled door that has a flat canopy above it. The east wing contains five casement and fixed light windows. A stair turret is located at the rear of the house.
Inside, the property boasts boxed and exposed ceiling beams, panelled doors from the 18th and 19th centuries, and a notable pine kitchen door. There are two sealed inglenook hearths, one of which is in the kitchen and includes a baking oven, a cupboard above it, and a staircase in its original position. Additionally, there is a small powder cupboard in one of the bedrooms and a carved wooden panel above the kitchen window.
