Description

Beechwood Farm is a house that likely dates from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with a mid-20th century extension on the left side. The building has two storeys and features a three-cell cross-passage entrance plan. It is constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a thatched roof that includes axial and gable chimneys made of red brick. The windows are mainly 20th century casements, although there are two small 19th century casements on the first storey. The entrance door is also from the 20th century and is accompanied by an open gabled porch made of red brick.
