Description
Beech Cottage is a house dating from the early 18th century, which has been raised and extended later. It features a cruck frame and is constructed of limestone rubble, rendered at the front, with a pantile roof and brick stacks. The building has a three-cell, hearth-passage plan, with a lean-to added on the right side.
It is 1½ stories high and has a four-window front. There is a plain 20th-century door to the right of a two-light, large-pane, sliding sash window at the left end. A second door is located in the lean-to porch on the right, with two three-light, large-pane horizontal sliding sashes between. The first floor has four two-light, large-pane horizontal sliding sashes. All ground floor openings feature milled lintels.
Inside, the central ground floor room contains a stop-chamfered axial beam. An upper cruck and wall tie can be found in the cross wall between the central and right end rooms.
