Description

Little Beech Hill is a two-storey farmhouse built from rubble stone, topped with a slate roof and featuring stone stacks. The house has a central chimney stack and two end stacks, with the east gable chimney projecting and the flue set back. The south-facing front has three 20th-century windows on the first floor. The ground floor includes, from left to right, a 20th-century conservatory, a gabled wooden porch, a six-pane window, and glazed double doors. The rear elevation faces a farmyard.

On the left side, there are two dormers with monopitch roofs that spring below the eaves and have 20th-century windows. On the right side, there are two first-floor windows: a long narrow light at eaves level and a 20th-century window beyond. The ground floor features, from left to right, a 20th-century window, a tall two-light window, a fixed four-pane window, and a smaller 20th-century window. Attached to the lower gable is a single-storey 20th-century kitchen block.

Inside, there is a surviving fragment of a cruck blade on the north wall of the former open hall. The principal ground-floor room has 17th-century chamfered ceiling beams with straight cut stops. The doorway to the parlour features a chamfered oak frame and a four-centred arch at the top. The parlour has a stone flagged floor with transverse and axial ceiling beams that are also chamfered with straight cut stops. An exceptionally wide 17th-century fireplace opening has a large monolithic lintel and jambs, both with chamfers. A transverse post and panel partition separates the parlour from the upper service end. The partition doorway has a 20th-century restored door-head and enlarged jambs, likely to facilitate the transport of cider casks. No surviving cruck blades are visible on the first floor, as these were probably removed when the roof was raised.
