Description

Beech Moor is a house built around 1800, located on the east side of High Street in Whitchurch. It is constructed of red brick and features gauged brick window heads and a projecting plinth. The parapet has blind brick panels above the windows and is topped with stone coping. The roof is covered with slate, and there are brick chimneys at the gables and between the right bays. The house is two storeys high and has three bays with widely spaced four-pane sash windows. The central entrance features a six-panelled door with a radiating semi-circular fanlight above it. An ashlar porch supports Doric piers, has a frieze that curves over the arch and keyblock, and is topped with a moulded cornice. In front of the house, there are 19th-century iron railings with small spearhead finials, a late 19th-century cast iron gate, and wooden gate posts topped with urn finials.
