Description
Beechwood is a house built in the early 19th century. It features a rendered exterior, brick chimneys, and tiled roofs. The building has a compact two-room plan with a single-span roof and is two storeys high, with much of the upper floor located within the roof space.
Designed in the Gothick style, the symmetrical garden front has projecting gabled wings at each end. Each wing includes a three-light mullion and transom window below, and above, a pointed two-light window with Y tracery. The gables are adorned with scalloped barge-boards. In the centre of the front, there are two larger pointed two-light windows with Y tracery at ground floor level, one of which is a French door. The entrance is located on the left-hand side and features a porch. All the tracery is made of wood and includes leaded lights.
Inside, the main central room on the garden front is higher than the rest of the ground floor. In the right-hand wing, there is a panelled room with trefoil heads in the upper sections.
