Description
The Beeches is a house dating from the late 18th century, constructed from coursed squared limestone with a stone slate roof. It stands three storeys high and has a narrow facade facing the road, featuring a painted plinth. The ground floor has paired sash windows with glazing bars set under a segmental arch, while the first floor includes a 16-pane sash window and a 20th-century window. The second floor has a 6-pane sash window. Throughout the building, there are flush wood architraves, voussoirs, and stone sills. The roof is hipped with a ridge stack. The interior has not been inspected. The proportions of the building suggest that it may have originally been a small weaving shed or warehouse, with the owner's or manager's residence located at No 1.
