    About this property

    • A superb contemporary house set within beautiful grounds, an array of outbuildings and ancillary accommodation.

      Occupying a picturesque position with far-reaching views over gently undulating fields, yet conveniently placed for local amenities and transport links, Beecroft is an attractive contemporary house set within over two acres of beautifully landscaped gardens.

      The building features handsome clad elevations and is currently divided into a five-bedroom principal residence and a single-storey annexe, ideal for multigenerational living. With the necessary consents, the annexe could be seamlessly incorporated into the main house, creating one expansive property. Additionally, a versatile studio flat above the workshop and garage offers further accommodation options.

      The front door opens into a practical porch, leading to the reception hall and through to the kitchen/dining room. Stairs lead up to the first-floor bedroom accommodation.

      The spacious, light-filled kitchen enjoys a triple aspect and features bespoke contemporary cabinetry, a timber work surface with a breakfast bar, and integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, Neff induction hob, and twin ovens.

      The generous dining area, with French windows opening to the south-facing terrace, connects to the sitting room and utility/boot room. The utility room offers ample space and plumbing for laundry appliances, a butler-style sink, and a wine fridge. It also provides external access and leads to a cloakroom.

      Beyond the utility room is a triple-aspect guest bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and adjoining shower room. French windows from the bedroom open out to the terrace and garden.

      The elegantly proportioned sitting room is bathed in natural light from two south-facing windows and features a contemporary wood-burning stove.

      The first floor comprises four further bedrooms, two of which, including the principal bedroom, have en suite shower rooms. A study and a family bathroom complete the floor.

      The generous, double-aspect principal bedroom is a highlight of the property, offering superb views of ancient oak trees, a high-specification en suite with an Aqualisa shower, and an adjoining dressing room, which could serve as an additional bedroom or nursery.

      Annexe
      Adjoining the main house, the spacious single-storey annexe is ideal for multigenerational living, featuring independent access. It includes an entrance hall leading to a cloakroom, utility room, and a well-appointed kitchen with attractive units and integrated Neff appliances. The annexe also boasts a triple-aspect sitting room with a wood-burning stove and a triple-aspect double bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite.

      Home Office
      The timber-clad home office is filled with natural light from French windows and a gable-end window. Ideal for working from home, the office benefits from full-fibre broadband and underfloor heating, ensuring comfort year-round.

      Gym
      The purpose-built, double-aspect gym provides ample space for a variety of fitness equipment.

The property features a variety of mature trees, including oak, maple, birch, and walnut, which enhance the natural beauty of the setting.

      The gardens are fully dog-proofed, ensuring peace of mind and allowing full enjoyment of the outdoor space. A shingle driveway leads up to the house, offering extensive parking and adding to the overall sense of arrival.

      A standout feature of the grounds is the beautifully designed outdoor kitchen, fitted with top-of-the-line Fire Magic appliances. This area is ideal for entertaining, with a bar and seating area where guests can relax and take in the surroundings. The open layout is perfect for versatile use, whether for a summer barbecue or an evening gathering under the stars.
