Description
The Beeches (Upper Cottage) is a former part of Fall View, now a separate cottage, likely built in the mid-18th century with some early 19th-century alterations. The structure is made of slobbered rubble with stone dressings and has a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high and has one bay. The entrance on the right side features a plain surround and a 20th-century six-panel door. The left-hand ground floor window also has a plain surround and contains 16-pane sash windows. On the upper floor, there is an 18th-century two-light flat-faced mullioned window with sash windows. A right-hand pilaster indicates the junction with Fall View, and there is a ridge stack on the left-hand gable end.
