In addition to the house there is a recently constructed double garage and useful outbuilding, arranged around an attractive cobbled drive. Beech Cottage was formerly owned by the Tollemache Estate who were large landowners locally and originally built as a pair of semi-detached workers cottages. The property is believed to have been sold off by the estate in 1939 when Henry James Tollemache passed away and since which time has been in private ownership. The property was converted into a single dwelling in the late 20th century and the current owners have carried out a sympathetic and tasteful renovation over the past 15 years or so. Whilst modernised, Beech Cottage still offers a charming country cottage with period features throughout to include original fireplaces, exposed beams & timbers and externally, the cobbled yard remains intact, along with the butts & reans in the fields.
