Description

Beech Tree Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. It is built of red brick with some blue headers and features a hipped roof, with old plain tiles on part of the rear slope and 20th-century replacements on the front slopes. The building has two storeys and later attics, with the main range and a rear service wing forming an 'L' shape. The front has three bays, a plain parapet, and bricks laid in Flemish Bond. There are three windows: the outer windows on each floor have small-paned sashes with diminished side lights, while the central window on the upper floor is a plain small-paned sash. All windows have flat arches with gauged heads. The entrance door is slightly recessed and has six flush panels, with the top two being glazed. It features a reeded architrave with oval corner medallions and an open triangular pediment with dentils.

On the rear wall, there are two chimney stacks built in English Bond, one of which is within a small gable, possibly indicating an earlier core to the house. The interior includes doors with raised fielded panels and an entrance hall with a framed newel stair, featuring stick balusters, an open string with brackets to the tread-ends, and a ramped handrail. To the right end of the front range is what appears to be an addition, constructed in 19th-century brick, lacking a parapet but with a dentil cornice. This addition has a small-paned sash window on each storey. The rear service wing, also of red brick with a dentil cornice, was formerly timber-framed and has segmental arches to the doorway and windows, now all replaced with 20th-century casements. The interior of the service wing is in two bays, high, with rough main beams and joists set on edge. Attached to the right corner of the front is a high curved red brick garden wall.
