Description

Beechwood and its retaining wall, located on High Street in Aberlady, date from the mid-19th century and may include elements from an earlier house. The building is two stories high with an attic and features three bays. It is constructed of squared and coursed stugged cream sandstone with ashlar dressings. The central entrance has a panelled door topped by a strip fanlight, with windows on either side. The first floor has three windows positioned high under the eaves. There are two wooden gabled, canted dormers with overhanging eaves. The windows are sash and case style with plate glass glazing. The steeply pitched roof is covered with grey slates and has a straight skew with ashlar coping on the left side. Additionally, there is a low rubble wall with ashlar coping that encloses the front garden.
