Beech Villa

End-of-terrace four-bay two-storey house, built c.1860, with extensions to rear. Set back from street. Hipped tiled roof with coping to south, terracotta ridge tiles and rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Square-headed door opening with moulded stucco surround, timber doorcase comprising fluted pilasters surmounted by console brackets with sidelights, overlight and timber panelled door. Front site bounded by rendered plinth wall surmounted by wrought-iron railings. Ashlar gate piers with wrought-iron gates set in curved wall to north giving access to rear. Stone outbuilding to rear site with pitched slate roof.

The retention of early fabric and materials enriches the pleasant façade of Beech Villa. The house exhibits simple design elements and well executed craftsmanship, demonstrated at the entrance with its fluted pilasters, sidelights, overlight and timber panelled door. The wrought-iron railings complete the site and enhance the site as do the fine ashlar gate piers which give access to the rear.
