This attractive, modern and well-appointed detached five bedroom house also has a detached two bedroom cottage and occupies the most beautiful setting, within over half an acre of gardens, in this pretty conservation village.


Positioned alongside Greatford Hall and the parish church of St Thomas a Becket, which is a beautiful backdrop, the house was constructed in the mid—1980s within the grounds of Greatford Hall.


Becket House provides over 3,400 square feet of spacious and well-orientated accommodation, with beautiful and vibrant views over the gardens and towards the parish church. With a fabulous feel, flow and finish to its accommodation, the modern house is complimented by a two-bedroom period ancillary cottage, The Barn, which is currently let under an Assured Shorthold Tenancy, with a passing rent of £10,500 per annum.


Becket House and its cottage effectively sit on an island within the village, along with Greatford Hall and the parish church, approached from Main Street over a small late 18th century stone bridge which serves the Hall, the church and this property. It is the most enchanting setting.


Becket House: The front door opens from the driveway's extensive parking and garaging, into a wide entrance stairwell hallway, from which double doors open into the family dining kitchen, and two of the four reception rooms, as well as to a cloakroom/WC.


The impressive family dining kitchen occupies the core of this fabulous house, with defined and spacious kitchen, dining and living zones. The travertine floored kitchen is fitted with an extensive bespoke suite, with large island unit, and marble worktops throughout. It incorporates a suite of integrated appliances, including induction hob, oven, dishwasher and wine fridges. There are sets of external French doors to the south facing gardens from both the dining and living areas, whilst large internal glazed double doors open to the sitting and garden rooms, ensuring a convivial flow for families and for entertaining.

The full width, dual-aspect formal sitting room has an elegant feel. A wood burning stove sits within a Stamford Stone fireplace, whilst French doors, framed with full-height windows, open to the garden, ensuring a vibrant outlook. Alongside, a large and symmetrical, triple aspect, oak floored study, has mullioned windows and fitted bookcases, and would double as an excellent playroom, for young children.


From the family dining kitchen, double doors open into a large and beautiful, vaulted atrium glazed garden room, from which two sets of French doors open to the garden, with a third external access to the front drive and garden. The garden room is an amazing fourth reception room, from which a staircase rises to bedroom five, with its en suite shower room.


From the entrance hallway, the main staircase rises to a large first floor landing, which provides access to four double bedrooms (two en suite) and a modern, well-appointed full-suite family bathroom, with a separate shower cubicle. The principal and guest bedrooms both have a wall of fitted wardrobes, along with modern en suite shower rooms.


Outside: Becket House occupies an enchanting setting within gardens of just over half an acre, bounded on two sides by a weir controlled tributary of the River Glen, which surrounds Greatford Hall.


Approached over a bridge to Greatford Hall and the parish church, the driveway guides you around to a turning sweep at the house, offering extensive parking and access to the property's adjoining three garages. The driveway and approach are through a pretty, low walled, lawned front garden, with deep flowering borders and deciduous trees, with attractive views of the neighbouring parish church as the backdrop.


The principal garden lies to the south (rear) of the house, where there are flowing lawns, interspersed by colourful, deep flowering borders, with extensive terraces, with pathways between, for seating, eating and entertaining. Framed by The Barn, garden walls and the moat, the garden has a high degree of privacy and is an absolute sanctuary.
