Description
Beech Cottage is a house dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century. It features a timber frame with plaster and a thatched roof. The building consists of three cells and is one and a half storeys high. It has various old casement windows, most of which have diamond-leaded glass. The cross-entry doorway includes a semi-glazed panelled door and a gabled timber trellis porch. There is an additional doorway with a plank door on the extreme left. A gabled dormer with a diamond-leaded window is present, along with an internal stack that has a 19th-century red brick shaft and another 19th-century stack on the right gable end. The left gable end features an 18th-century diamond-leaded window with three lights. There are also one-storey whitewashed brick additions on the left gable end and at the rear. The interior has not been examined.
