Beech House: A Perfect Blend of Classic Elegance and Modern Comfort
Beech House is a distinguished family residence of seamless, modern sophistication. Meticulously remodelled by the current owners, the property offers an exceptional balance of style, comfort, and practicality. Built of brick and lias limestone, its striking façade is complemented by a terrace that overlooks the beautifully landscaped two-third acre grounds, creating a timeless first impression.
Designed for Contemporary Living
This impressive home is designed with modern lifestyles in mind, featuring high ceilings, underfloor heating across much of the ground floor, and ceramic-tiled flooring. The house is well-connected with fast EE mobile broadband, modern wiring, and USB ports, ensuring it meets the demands of a tech-savvy household. Large south-facing bifold doors and generous windows flood the interiors with natural light, while two roof lanterns in the garden/dining room enhance the sense of space and openness.
A Grand Entrance and Refined Living Spaces
The house is entered via a welcoming porch and WC giving access to a grand hallway that offers one of the two staircases of the home. The hall flows effortlessly through to the drawing room, with its traditional fireplace, enjoying picturesque views through south-facing windows.
The Heart of the Home: A Stunning Kitchen and Dining Space
At the core of Beech House is an expansive open-plan breakfast kitchen / sitting room, which leads through to further entertaining space - the garden and dining room. The kitchen is exquisitely designed, featuring a central island with an integrated sink, a Quooker boiling water tap, hob, steam and conventional ovens, and a fully integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher. A contemporary free-standing wood burner adds warmth and character, while built-in bookcases and bifold doors lead out to the terrace, perfect for al fresco dining.
Additional Ground Floor Amenities
Beyond the kitchen lies a versatile office or playroom, a wine store, and a walk-in larder. A second staircase and a secondary WC, also accessible from the garden, offer added convenience. The large, fitted utility room includes storage, plumbing for a second dishwasher, a washing machine and dryer, as well as an additional sink and porch access.
Luxurious Accommodation on the First Floor
The first floor is dominated by the sophisticated principal suite, accessed via the secondary staircase. This private retreat boasts a spacious bedroom with a wide south-facing window offering sweeping views, two dressing rooms, and a lavish ensuite with twin basins, a bath, shower, and separate WC.
There are three further generously proportioned bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes and ensuite facilities. Bedroom 2 enjoys a south-facing aspect and an ensuite shower room, while Bedroom 3, positioned to the east, features its own ensuite wet room. Bedroom 4 has dual aspect windows and an ensuite bathroom.
A Versatile Second Floor
A staircase leads to a large, second-floor attic room with un-tapped potential extending nearly 50 feet. This versatile space is ideal for a variety of possibilities, whether as a home office, additional bedroom accommodation, games room, or a private cinema.
Beautiful Grounds and Outdoor Living
The property is approached via a long tarmac, private driveway, part of which is owned with the property, leading to an in-and-out drive and a gravelled parking forecourt. A detached double garage with an electric roller shutter door offers ample space, accompanied by a wood store and an oil tank.
The south-facing garden is a haven of tranquillity, mainly laid to lawn with established herbaceous borders and hedging. A central water feature adds a touch of formality, while a greenhouse, vegetable garden with raised beds, and a garden store with power, light, and water ensure the garden is both beautiful and practical. For those seeking additional outdoor space, six acres of mature amenity woodland may be available by separate negotiation.
