Description
The Beeches is a house, likely built around 1760. It features a red brick exterior and a thatched hipped roof with a brick ridge stack. The design follows a 2-unit lobby-entry plan in the Gothick style. The central entrance has a two-centre arched doorway with a 20th-century panelled door. All windows have wood Y-tracery, with the ground floor windows still retaining their original shutters. The right return end wall has a segmental curve. The interior has not been inspected.
