Description
The Beeches is a house, likely built in the mid 19th century. It features an ashlar front and coursed, squared rubble sides with quoins. The hipped roof is covered in Welsh slate and has a chimney stack along the ridge. The symmetrical front is two stories high and has three bays, with a central panelled door located under a bracketed hood. There are two-bay returns on either side. The windows are sash style, all with glazing bars, except for those on the ground floor on the southeast side.
