Description
The Beeches is a house from the 18th century, constructed of red brick with a red plain tiled roof. It features red brick chimney stacks on both the right and left sides. The building has two storeys and attics, with a single bay extension on the right that matches the main structure. A parapet and a moulded, dentilled cornice adorn the top. There are three flat-headed dormers, and the windows follow a 5:1 range pattern, with no first-floor window on the right extension. The vertically sliding sashes have central glazing bars, horns, and moulded surrounds. The central doorway includes reveal panels, pilasters, a cornice, console brackets, and a moulded open pediment, topped by a six-panel door and a semi-circular fanlight above.
Local climate
The Beeches sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 66% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
