Description
Beech House is a former schoolmaster's house and schoolroom dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a pantiled roof. The building has an L-shaped plan with 2½ storeys, including a single-storey wing to the west and an 18th-century extension to the north. The principal facade facing the road has three windows, while the schoolroom attached to the west has two windows.
The rear wing was originally designed with one window, marked by a rusticated quoin and a former end stack, which is now located inside the later rear wing that has three windows. The early 18th-century section includes 20th-century replacement cross windows and original 'Y' traceried Gothick windows with a central wrought iron light and lead glazing situated at ground floor level in the gable walls. The east attic gable features a two-light casement window with wrought iron lights.
The schoolroom has brick corbeleaves, and there are platbands at the attic floor level on the gables. The rear wing has a central 20th-century door and doorcase, along with replacement cross windows. The building displays segmental brick arches with key blocks, a brick and flint plinth, a first-floor level platband, brick dentil eaves, and parapet gables with brick kneelers and end stacks.
