Description
The Beeches is a mid-19th century Tudor-style estate cottage located in Sherborne St John, facing Beech Lodge across the access roadway. The building is two storeys high and has two windows. It features a tile roof with elaborately carved barge-boards and coupled diagonal flues on a rectangular stack. The walls are made of redbrick in Flemish bond, with blue headers and a red herring-bone pattern within the gables, as well as Dutch flat arches and a plinth. The cottage has projecting casements with round-headed coupled lights and moulded cills. There is a gabled brick porch that includes recessed herring-bone panels in the cheeks, a Tudor moulded door frame, and a boarded door. Although there is a modern extension at the rear, the three main elevations of the cottage remain original.
