Description
Description
Beech Lawns is a beautifully presented period property that dates to the 1800’s and has been lovingly refurbished during the course of the current owners 25 year ownership now featuring light modern touches and stylishly decorated from a subtle, contemporary palette throughout.
Approached via a gated entrance, a long gravel driveway sweeps alongside the front and side of the house culminating in a generous parking area beyond a mellow, old brick wall which discreetly screens the garaging and stabling that sits beyond. A front entrance porch opens to a welcoming hallway with a lovely flagstone floor with a staircase rising to the first floor. Both of the south facing reception rooms overlook the front grounds with dual aspects ensuring that they benefit from a good deal of natural light. The sitting room has a wood burning stove with a further open chimney breast in the dining room, which is superbly proportioned for seating a good number of guests with more informal dining an option in the exceptional kitchen/family room. This 42’ open plan room is a most impressive area running the full width of the main house, again with the characterful flagstone floor and fitted with an extensive range of solid wood storage cabinets, an aga stove, dishwasher, refrigeration and freezer units, a wine cooler and microwave. Set immediately off the kitchen is a utility room with a door to the rear. A pair of double doors open from the kitchen to a sheltered, covered terrace.
All first floor bedrooms which all of a luxurious hotel standard are of a good size, commanding delightful country aspects and they are well served by three bathrooms and an additional cloakroom. The main bedroom is particularly noteworthy with a walk in dressing room and an enormous ensuite with twin basins and a freestanding Victorian style bath and shower. The bathroom even features a decorative period fireplace, as do both the principal and guest bedrooms.
On the western side of the house is a smart, two storey, two bedroom annexe. A large ground floor could be an independent office, or if fitted with kitchen units, a fully self contained home for a dependent relative. Alternatively, this part if the home could generate significant income from Air B & B without compromising the privacy of the main house.
The manicured grounds that surround the property are extremely private and laid predominantly to large swathes of neatly clipped lawns, interspersed with mature hedges and both ornamental and native trees. A wonderful open and vaulted oak framed outdoor garden room enjoys a fine aspect over the gardens and is perfect for summer dining providing shelter from the elements. Those with equestrian interests will appreciate the stabling and level paddock set to the rear.
