Description

Beech House and Dye Cottage are a pair of cottages built in the early 19th century. They are constructed from coursed squared sandstone with sandstone dressings and feature a tiled roof made up of bands of plain and fishscale tiles. The cottages have ashlar ridge and gable stacks and rise to two storeys.

The west elevation consists of three irregular bays. On the left, there is a doorway with a stone lintel and a panelled door. To the right of this doorway, there is a 2-light casement window set in a stone surround. Dye Cottage, located to the right, has a central doorway with a lintel and quoins, flanked by 2-light square section flush mullion windows. Above, there are three 2-light square section flush mullioned windows, along with a 20th-century 2-light casement window.
