Description
Beechcroft is a house dating from the 18th century, with alterations and an extension from the 19th century. It has two storeys and features four windows. The structure is timber-framed and rough-cast rendered, topped with plaintiled roofs and red brick chimneys at the rear. The windows are small pane sash style, and the entrance door is a six-panelled design, with the upper panels being glazed. This door is flanked by sunk-panelled pilasters and a head, and it is covered by a flat lead canopy. The house may have been extended to the right and had its windows changed in the early 19th century.
