Description
Beech Hill Cottage is a mid-19th century pair of cottages that have been integrated into one. The building is constructed of coursed rubble, with the front painted white and the left gable wall rendered. It features a graduated stone slate roof and has a double-depth plan. The cottage is two storeys high and has two windows. On the ground floor, there is a square-headed doorway offset to the right, which has a part-glazed door. This doorway is flanked by square windows, with the left window having formerly been a doorway, and there is a rectangular window to the left. The first floor has square windows on both the left and right sides, all of which now have 20th-century four-pane top-hung casements that imitate sash windows. The cottage has gable chimneys, and the left gable wall features a 20th-century window. The interior has not been inspected. Beech Hill Cottage, along with Hodgson's Cottage and Smithy, which is adjacent to the right, forms an important group facing the Church of St Andrew.
