Beechgrove

Beechgrove is a house dated 1699, marked with the initials ICE, EC, and IC, located on Mall Road in Brading. The house was extended in the mid-19th century. Its front elevation features red brick with vitrified headers arranged in Flemish bond chequerwork, while the basement and side elevation are made of stone rubble. The roof is tiled and has end brick chimneystacks. The building has two storeys, attics, and a semi-basement.

The front elevation includes three gabled dormers that are pebbledashed and fitted with 20th-century casements. On the first floor, there are five 20th-century wooden casements within their original surrounds. A deep wooden eaves cornice is present, along with a sun fire plaque numbered 37302 and a brick platband. The ground floor windows have rubbed brick voussoirs. The central doorcase, dating to around 1820, features a flat wooden hood supported by iron brackets, a reeded surround, and a six-flush panelled door with the top two panels glazed. There are two curved stone steps leading up to the door. The basement has two original stone window openings.

The left side elevation has two blocked narrow window openings. Attached to this side is a two-storey mid-19th century extension, which is partly constructed of stone rubble with red brick dressings and partly of stock brick, also with a tiled roof. This extension has a central brick chimneystack and sash windows, some of which have horns. Inside, the right-hand room on the ground floor features early 18th-century fielded panelling and a wooden fireplace with a keystone and wooden overmantel, along with two-panelled doors. The left-hand room contains a spine beam with ovolo moulding, quirk, and tongue.
