The Beeches And Barn Adjoining

The Beeches is a farmhouse dating from the early 18th century, with early 19th-century additions to the rear and an adjoining barn. It is constructed from dressed grey and pink sandstone, featuring a white sandstone string course, eaves cornice, and V-jointed quoins on a chamfered plinth. The roof is made of graduated greenslate with coped gables and kneelers, and it has one original banded stone chimney stack alongside a later 20th-century brick chimney stack. The building is two storeys high and consists of five bays, with the left barn under a common roof. A 20th-century door is set in a pilastered surround beneath a segmental pediment, and sash windows are framed in raised white sandstone surrounds. The barn includes slit vents. At the rear, there is an outshut with a door that is dated and inscribed "I & FT 1808." The rear of the barn features a plank door and a loft door that is accessed by external stone steps. Additional barns at the rear of the house are not of interest.
