Description
Beech Villa is a possibly late 18th century house with later additions and alterations, located on High Street in Ayton. It is a near-symmetrical, two-storey building with a basement and three bays, forming part of a terrace. The exterior is constructed from rubble with sandstone dressings, featuring droved long and short surrounds to the openings, painted margins, and projecting cills.
On the northeast elevation, there are steps leading to a timber panelled door that is centered at the ground level, topped by a 6-pane fanlight. There are single windows in the flanking bays at the ground level and single windows in all bays on the first floor. To the outer left, there is a boarded timber basement door that is offset.
The windows are timber sash and case with 12-pane glazing. The roof is covered with grey slate and has stone-coped skews. There are corniced brick and sandstone ridge stacks with various cans.
The interior was not seen in 1998. The property is enclosed at the front by a coped rubble boundary wall.
