Beech House

Beech House is a house constructed in the mid-18th century, with an extension added around 1910. It is built of brick, stuccoed on the south side, and has a roof of black-glazed pantiles. The original south block runs parallel to a later-added north block.

The south front has two windows and features a canted window bay added around 1910 to the ground floor left of a two-over-two sashed window. Above are two three-over-six sashed windows. A modillion eaves cornice runs along the top, and a hipped roof has two flat-topped dormers, each fitted with a four-over-eight sashed window. A stack is on the ridge and another on the west roof slope.

The north block projects to the west, with a two-storey projection from around 1910 featuring casement windows with glazing bars on the first floor. To the left is a rounded bay window with casement windows also with glazing bars. The north front has four windows, with a central six-panelled and fielded door within a timber doorcase featuring fluted pilasters and an open segmental pediment. The windows are segmental-headed eight-over-eight sashed windows. This side also has a modillion eaves cornice and a hipped roof with two flat-topped dormers; the left one has two two-over-four horned sashes, and the right one a single four-over-eight horned sash. Stacks are located on the east and west roof slopes.

Inside, an 18th-century open-string staircase has bobbin-turned balusters and a ramped, moulded handrail. The upper staircase hall has a wide barrel-vaulted plaster ceiling, lit by tripartite casements at the east and west ends. The walls have panelled pilasters that continue as ribs into the vault, with an egg-and-dart cornice completing the design.
