The Beeches

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, with end bay breakfronts and return and extension to rear. Set within its own grounds. Hipped slate roof with red brick chimneystacks and oversailing roof with timber eaves brackets. Pebble dashed walls with smooth render to plinth. Timber Wyatt windows with tooled stone sills, canted bay window with timber sash windows to east and west elevations and timber sash window to rear elevation. Recessed square-headed doorway with overlight and timber and glass door set within overlight and timber and glass door set within tooled limestone surround with mosaic tiles to floor. Set within its own grounds with rendered piers and wall with wrought-iron gates to front of site, and cut limestone piers to rear yard.

This well proportioned house is enhanced by attention to detailing in its design. The finely carved limestone door surround and contrasting mosaic tiles exhibit skilled craftsmanship while adding visual appeal to the façade. The oversailing roof with timber eaves brackets and Wyatt windows are also noteworthy features. The terminating breakfronts are balanced by the canted bay windows to the east and west elevations adding architectural significance to these façades.
