Description

The Beeches is a former farmhouse, now a private house, accompanied by an adjoining former barn or stable. It is dated 1767 above the entrance. The building features painted stucco walls set on a chamfered plinth, with all dressings made of painted stone. It has a graduated greenslate roof and painted rendered end chimney stacks. The structure is two storeys high with three bays, and there is a lower right single-storey, single-bay barn or stable. The main entrance has an off-centre 20th-century panelled door within a stone surround. The windows are sash style, set in plain reveals beneath elliptical heads, complete with keystones and stone sills. There is a 19th-century sash window to the right of the doorway, and the barn/stable has an inserted sash window. There are also 20th-century extensions at the rear of both the house and the barn/stable. The interior has not been inspected.
