Over 2,500 square feet in a unique and peaceful Hartford location

16 Beechwood Avenue, Hartford, CW8 3AR

With enduring show home sophistication and charisma, No. 16, Beechwood Avenue in Hartford is a home that has evolved over the decades, whilst retaining all of its box-fresh beauty.

Extended twice over the last 27 years, and home to only one set of owners, No. 16, Beechwood Avenue’s abiding appeal is easy to fall in love with. A home that has grown with a family’s needs, it offers something for all ages, in a sought-after community setting you’ll never want to leave.

Upon arrival
Pull up on the spacious driveway, where there is ample room to park several vehicles, in addition to a double garage.

A crescent of bowling green standard lawn fringes the front of the home, where a brick porch offers a place to pause and remove shoes, prior to stepping through to the bright and bountiful entrance hall.

OWNER QUOTE: “It’s been really good to us, but we’ve been really good to it too; we’ve taken good care of the home.”

Ahead, the handsome modern oak staircase, installed to maximise space, leads up to the left, whilst also to the left a modern cloakroom features fitted wash basin storage and WC.

Peaceful retreat
Light and bright, also positioned to the left, access the large lounge, where wooden flooring flows out underfoot and windows look out to the front and side. Warmth emanates from the multi fuel stove, nestled on its slate hearth, a source of comfort and cheer in the winter months. Neutral tones dress this home, accented by pops of colour in the soft furnishings and artwork.

Productive sanctuary
Crossing the entrance hall, on the right, reach the study, where light-toned Amtico flooring is accompanied by a selection of fitted office furniture, including a desk, filing cabinet unit, drawers and shelving; fully equipped for those working from home. A home that ebbs and flows with the needs of its inhabitants, this room was originally a playroom, but could serve comfortably as a snug too.

Open-concept dining and kitchen
Forming part of one of the extensions undertaken at No. 16, Beechwood Avenue, step through into the rear of the home, and sample the culinary delights of a kitchen once featured in Cheshire Life magazine.

Bespoke fitted by Ormishers, the beauty of this kitchen is not so much the individual features, but the space it creates and lifestyle it promotes. A working room, a sociable room, a room in which to relax and take stock, the brief was clearly communicated and delivered: to create a functional kitchen for a family of six, with plenty of space to manoeuvre and collaborate.

Function and flair
A minimal kitchen, allowing you to work from both sides, and dine casually at the central island breakfast bar, appliances include two eye level ovens, a microwave oven and a steam oven, American style fridge-freezer and an induction hob. The two drawer Fisher & Paykel dishwasher enables you to run half loads of washing, allowing you to wash the breakfast pots at the beginning of the day and the dinner plates in the evenings.

Warmed by underfloor heating, the kitchen also links to the utility room, where there is plumbing for a washer and dryer and access to the rear garden and also to the garage at the front.

A wall of glass to the opposite side of the kitchen distinguishes the room from the dining room and music rooms beyond, whilst retaining a seamless sense of flow and openness.

Wine and dine
Ideal for dinner parties and homework marathons alike, the dining room is cleverly partitioned to be both part of and separate from the kitchen. Also served by zoned underfloor heating is the music room, another bright and versatile space, with double height ceiling washed in light from the skylight above. Flow in and out to the terrace from the kitchen through a single door and a set of double doors, making this space ideal when entertaining in the summer months and beyond.

OWNER QUOTE: “When you have four children they want their own space too, but you don’t necessarily want them in their bedrooms all the time.”

From the entrance hall, take the oak stairs up to the gallery landing, where there is ample space for a seating area by the window looking out toward the neighbouring field.

Cool comfort
Sneak a peek at the first of the bedrooms, cosily carpeted underfoot and dressed in soft shades of grey. A wealth of wardrobes provides ample storage for clothes, with wide windows framing views to the front, over the driveway and field, co-owned by the residents and free to use at your leisure. A concealed door within the wardrobes provides access to a shower room ensuite, with fitted storage.

Moving around the gallery landing, to the left of the stairs, storage can be found in the airing cupboard, before arriving at a second guest double bedroom, where neutral shades embellish the walls and views can be enjoyed out over the back garden.

Refresh your senses
The ultimate antidote to fast-paced modern life, indulge in a restorative soak in the tub in the family bathroom, also furnished with fitted vanity unit storage and separate shower.

Next door, and carpeted in grey, rest your head in the third guest bedroom, where there is ample space for a double bed. Highlighting the fantastic proportions to be found in the rooms at No. 16, Beechwood Avenue, opposite, arrive at a fourth double bedroom, with tranquil views out over the front.

Spacious sanctuary
Peacefully positioned away from the guest bedrooms, along its own inner landing, arrive at the master suite. Affectionately dubbed ‘The Flat’ by the current owners, the sizeable master bedroom offers ample space for a seating area, with plenty of room for storage and a super-king-size bed. Wake up to leafy vistas to the front and rear.

OWNER QUOTE: “When you’re in the bedroom, you can look out of the window and see wildlife in the field.”

A space in which to retreat, rest and revitalise, this haven of a bedroom is also served by a recently refurbished shower room ensuite.

Soak up the sunshine
Wood-framed glass doors open from the kitchen to provide a connection to the Indian stone paved patio, sheltered by a crinkle crankle wall, behind which mature shrubs and colourful planting create a verdant backdrop, illuminated by positional lighting by night.

Soak up the afternoon sun in this south westerly facing garden, or in the winter months simply open the doors and bring the outdoors in, to listen to the birdsong.

Safe and enclosed, the garden is ideal for children, and pets alike.

Out and about
OWNER QUOTE: “When the children were little – the field was their playground.”
