Beechwood House, Hillhead Of Dunkeld, Brae Street, Dunkeld

Beechwood House, built around 1840 in the style of William Burn, is a two-storey, three-bay square-plan gabled Tudor mansion. It features a lower and single-storey L-plan service wing. The exterior is constructed of rubble with contrasting grey ashlar dressings and includes gabled dormerheads and timber mullions.

On the south elevation, the house has three bays, with the outer bays being gabled. The left bay is advanced and has a full-height panel of four-light windows, while the right bay features a broad ashlar doorcase with parapet coping and a lantern, along with a three-light window above on the first floor. The central bay has a narrow single window on each floor.

The west elevation also has three bays, with a broad gable on the right side that includes a full-height canted window. There is a canted window at ground level bridging the centre and the left bay, which has an advanced chimney breast at the first floor that divides the bays.

The north elevation mirrors the three-bay design, with a broad gabled bay on the right that has a four-light window on each floor. The centre and left bays feature bipartite windows on both floors.

The service wing's east elevation is adjacent to the taller two-storey house and includes a service door in the broad gable to the left, flanked by four windows (two in the centre and two to the right, possibly a schoolroom). A gabled stone bellcote is located on the north return gable of the schoolroom above the door and window. The west elevation has a door and window to the schoolroom on the left, with two gabled, slate-hung dormers. The roof sweeps down to the right over advanced bays and a blocked door, with an additional dormer as described.

The windows feature timber, small-pane glazing in a sash and case style. The gables have coped skews with bracketed skewputts, and the roof is covered with graded grey slates. The chimney stacks are tall, corniced, and coped, with polygonal and diamond-set gablehead and ridge stacks, some of which are grouped.

The interior was not seen in 1996. The terrace walls and steps consist of ashlar terrace walls running north-south, with panelled dies and a balustrade, along with short flights of steps.
