The beams are the best thing about it, apart from the vertical beam and the one above the window which are unnecessary.
Actually imitation beams rarely work, only original beams in a house of that era. My eccentric old Aunt from leafy Essex has proper beams in her cottage.
I love it, it's a beach style which is one of my favorites. Love the beams too, very similar to the ones we have in our house. I'd change out all the chairs, don't like them but the couches are nice.
