Leechpond Hill, Lower Beeding, RH13

Inside, the house is generously proportioned with large, double-glazed windows, flooding the space with natural daylight. The entrance hall is wide and welcoming and houses a large guest WC. The main ground floor accommodation includes a sizable, triple aspect, sitting room with bi-fold doors out onto a gorgeous, secluded courtyard with built-in bread oven and attractive brickbuilt
wind-break. It features an attractive fireplace with attractive limestone surround and contemporary wood burning stove and is adjacent to the generous dining room, down a short flight of stairs. Double doors from the dining room open into the impressive family kitchen with a vast, granite-topped, breakfast island and its own door out to the patio, as well as a capacious utility/boot room off it. Upstairs, the principal bedroom, with its vaulted ceiling, ensuite, dressing room and balcony, is a real highlight. There are also four additional generous bedrooms (one on the ground floor with its own en-suite shower room), a large modern family bathroom and a further shower room.

Outside

Accessed via a long drive, beyond electric gates, there is ample parking, a huge double garage with workshop and several outbuildings, including a small barn, garden store and shed. The land extends to 3.64 acres encircling the house on three sides, with a charming wooded area at the rear of the house to the west, with a small stream beyond, and a large lawn to the side and front, bounded by mature trees and shrubs giving privacy and seclusion.
